Pale gold pour with lots of carbonation. Whispy head. Hoppy scent with a touch of spice. Nice deep flavour, hoppy and spicey. A touch bitter with a warm finish.

341mL bottle, from a sixer from The Big Bad Evil Beer Store. This is quickly becoming a style that I actually almost have respect for. Pours a nice golden with a large, rocky/frothy white head that fades quick to a creamy thick white cap. Aroma: Really nice combo of worty malts, toffee, and mild fruity esters. Nice! Delicious malted barley with a subtle hint of hops. Flavour: On the lighter side of things, but decent enough. Nice delicate grainy sweetness, balanced out by some nice crispness and mild hop presece. Only loses some points for a weird metallic/alcoholic unpleasantness in the finish, but nothing too bad, I’ll attribute it to the sixer being 2 months old, and from the beer store. A well crafted, crisp, refreshing and tasty Canadian Blonde/Cream Ale. Worth it, especially in this heat and humidity! EDIT: After having a couple more bottles, this brew really has grown on me, so I’m bumping the score up a bit. It seems different every bottle, but over-all the unpleasantness I mentioned earlier has changed on my palate. It’s got this really nice dry, almost Saaz-like hop bitterness now that really dominates the flavour profile, but still balancing itself out with the sweetness. Really good stuff, great for sessioning too.

341 ml bottle- Pours transparent sparkling gold. Head is a quickly diminishing white fizz that recedes to a thin ring. Biscuity, malty, slightly grainy nose with good levels of hops present. In the flavour department, there is a good level of doughy biscuit along with sweet fruity malts. Moderate hopping lead this to a slightly bitter finish with a sweet grain aftertaste. Not too bad. Thanks for the bottle David!

Bottle. Eye-pleasing orange-gold with a nice, tight foam. An effusive post-pour nose of cereal, malt and hops settles down to a Frosted Flakes (corn) aroma. Nice palate has a good, gritty grip. Flavour has a pleasant woody quality, followed by character fruitiness, sugar water and a medium-bitter finish. Don’t know what has taken me so long to try this; would have again.

Bright yellow/gold bodied with a short-lived head, this has an aroma of sweet pale malts with a faint floral/herbal hopping. The flavor is a grainy sweetness with a solid herbal bitterness. Simple, but quite good for the current hot temperatures.
