Draught @ Bar Hop, Toronto.
Pours hazy yellow, with fast fading bright white head.
Smells fresh with citrus hints. Crisp taste, with almost nothing but hops. Nice starter. Light.

Nice initial smell here. Has some pine and citrus in initial aroma. Folloes with some light malt. Pours cloudy orange. Decent head and some lacing. Finishes pretty bitter. Texture a little fuzzy, pretty high carbonation. On tap at Tequila Bookworm.
4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
March 12, 2011 - Great Lakes Tap Take-over at Volo. (and at least three times elsewhere since) - cask, I think. Incredibly hazy orange with an average but lasting frothy/fizzy off-white head. "Ho-lee f*%k does that smell good! Smells like God’s pee!!!" --- catty, citrus, incredibly juicy, pine .... 9+! Taste follows, but muted, subtle on the tongue - all the same elements, just more restrained, with grapefruit pith and catnip in the finish. Average body, weak carbonation, somewhat astringent, and a surprisingly medium-length bitter/catty dry finish, and not a lot of linger - very sessionable, very pungent.

550ml draught

I tried this beer on draught on July 11, 2012 at "C’est What" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a translucent golden-brown colour with a thin tan head. The aroma was citrusy hops, pineapple hints and grassy malt. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with mild carbonation. The flavour was tropical fruit, weak grapefruit, and some caramel.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Cloudy golden orange colour with a nice off white head and lace. Great aroma, floral, resin, citrus. Flavour is refreshing, with a slight vegetal character. Very good.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 15/20
A hazed golden amber ale with a thin frothy lacing white head. In aroma, a super fruity and floral hops with citrus notes, lichees, papaya, beautiful. In mouth, a smooth grassy caramel malt with lingering attenuated floral hops, pink grapefruit pulp, very good. On cask at Arrow and Loon, April 15 2012.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Cask at Burger Bar. Hazy copper pour. Aroma is pine, citrus and tropical fruit, bleach. Hints of berries and vanilla. "Casky" slightly oily and chalky mouthfeel. Very nice balance. Flavorful, slightly sweet and very hoppy, clean bitter finish. Great stuff!
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Thanks to jerc for this. Pours a clear auburn with a good white head and nice lacing. Aroma is faint citrus hops. Taste is lacking, slight bitterness and thin on body. Citrus hops and slight malt. There have been better.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pale golden pour with a tight white head. The aroma is quite citrusy. Bright lemon peel and a little of light hoppiness and a bit of soft resin. The flavour is lighter than the aroma would suggest but it’s appropriately dry. Lightly hoppy on the back - very tasty stuff. Lingering citrus. Fruity and zesty. It’s good.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: MAY 2, 2011 On cask at Volo
Aroma aromatic hop character. Sugary base , soft floral bottom. Light hint of alcohol.
Appearance mildly hazed , golden ale with presentable creamy white crown.
Flavor and Palate : medium plus bodied. Soft, silky texture made this stronger ale quiet smooth. Truly fresh mint like notes, some apple, peach. Hefty but easy going.
