Pour at the Ontario Brewing Awards. Pale golden amber pour. The nose has a bit of odd vegetal character. A touch of light fruitiness and some lingering peppery character. Okay.

2013-04-07. Crisp brown body, small beige head. Mild aroma of muted sweet malt, light notes of caramel and muted dusty malt accents. Flavour of modest malt, light bitterness, mild caramel and toasted malt notes. Average to light bodied palate. Decent example of a style that is not my favorite. On tap at Beer4Boobs 2013, labeled as Helles Yes but told that it was the Alt, Rhino, Toronto

Alright, first to rate anything from this brewer! Aroma of cherry and fruit punch, noble hops. They didn’t skimp on the hops. Slighty hazy dark amber with a white head. Taste is light, full of noble hops, not particularly malty, a little yeasty and spicy (pepper), with a dry finish. Thin-bodied. Not bad.
