3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 TheJester (1458) - Peterborough, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 2, 2013
750 mL bottle. Copper with a small, almost white head. The aroma is Belgian, dried apples, a little bock-ish. This one is a little boozier than it needs to be, and it could be a little drier as well. Otherwise the flavour is good, with orchard fruit, a little smoke (!?), good body for the style. A little bitterness, not much.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 thebhoy (55) - Ontario, CANADA - APR 29, 2013
First time with this style, bottle from the LCBO. A nice, refreshing beer, again, can’t really compare this with others of the style. Pours copper with a nice, off-white head. The beer goes down easy; the 8% abv is not really noticeable. Caramelized malt flavour with some grass and bread flavour--all of it is pretty light. A nice note of hops in the finish, which is slightly bitter. Overall a nice beer that I would seek out again.

Clear copper pour, medium white head. Lovely grassy, fresh hay, cereals aroma. Finish is spicy, and fruity. Light tropical fruit, more grassy hops, medium bitter finish. Very refreshing.
