2L Growler from the Brewery, bottled 2 days ago. Dark Yellow with a decent white head. Very floral, hoppy, some bread/biscuit. Mild carbonation with a nice clean bitter finish. The freshness probably adds a few points, as I’ve rated it higher than others. I love this beer!

This is alright. Not the best beer I’ve had of grand rivers. I enjoyed the plowman’s ale and the townhall lager more than this one. Beer is very similar in flavour to the plowman’s but slightly lest bitter and more fruity tasting. The beer smells like flowers, and fruit. Not bad but I would go with the plowman’s ale, this beer tastes like a watered down version of that beer.

Sampled at brewery. Pours clear amber/gold with soft carbonation. The aroma is like caramel and grass which is also reflected in the flavour, but with a touch of citrus. It has medium body and a dry slightly bitter finish. A really nice beer.

Draught @ Volo, Toronto, ON: Poured orange, decent foam head. Aroma is fruity, biscuity, and full of hops. The flavour was a shock to me, but very nice. A mix of sweet fruits, breads, and a ton of floral hopping. Extremely tasty, I was quite happy with it. Nice stuff!
