Alpha10 (104) - Ontario, CANADA - MAY 21, 2013
2013/05/21 - Pours a hazy yellow gold color with a thin white head. Aroma is yeast, orange, spices and slight floral hops. Taste is mainly orange, yeast and spices (coriander and nutmeg) that starts out as sweet citrus with a tart and slightly bitter aftertaste. Mouthfeel is this thin to medium, with crisp carbonation and a refreshing drying finish. Good balance. A nice summer beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

andrewturba (456) - Alberta, CANADA - APR 19, 2013
Pours a hazy golden colour with some small white head that almost disappears completely after a few minutes and a small amount of sediment. Aroma is sweet honey, coriander, perfumy, and malty, nothing really stands out over the other but is just all blended together in a good way. Flavour consists of sweet honey like characteristics, zesty lemon/orange, mild bitterness, and mildy spicy with coriander.
