Bottle conditioned from the LCBO. A modest white head rests upon a dark copper body, leaving a nice lacing all the way down the glass. Sweet malts in the aroma are complimented by a hint of fresh picked raspberries. The taste was surprisingly bitter, but smooth, with pine and citrus notes from the hops complimenting the sweet malts perfectly. Wonderful long-lasting bittersweet aftertaste.
