[3772-20110623] Tap. Fruity pineapple grass yeast aroma. Murky, orange brown body with a medium-lasting foamy off-white head. Blood orange hops and thick pulpy malt flavour with a long heavy orange peel aftertaste and something like the sweet herb stevia. Medium-full body. Great orange characteristics throughout, quite tasty. (7/4/8/4/14) 3.7
Overheard: "It doesn’t really taste like anything I’ve had before."

2011-06-24. Hazy orange body with a nice foamy white head. 4+ Hoppy aroma is interesting, fruity with a vaguely floral character. Light yeasty profile - Belgian yeast? A light not quite spicy grass character, kiss of banana like esters? The overall flavour is sweeter than I expected, and less of a hop bomb. Fruity yeasty notes are almost like Orval meets Weiss beer with a healthy side of hops. Very interesting citrus, oranges or sweet lemon peel. Not sure I have had anything quite like this before to be honest, rather unique. Smooth average plus bodied palate dances on the tongue. 3+ Enjoyable. On tap at Bryden’s, Toronto

Unique and tasty. Orange and little head but much lace. Full mouthfeel of malt and yeast. Cloves driven but other spices noticed in the nose. Above average carbonation. Satisfying.A beer discovery. having a great lakes beer at the Rhino, a few brewers and owners there. ken taps me on the shoulder, asks me what i am drinking and what I think. Other people talk to me. Back to Ken and he asks what i think of this particular beer, if I have had it. Tells me its on for sure now little batch at Bryden’s. He himself never had it.
