3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20Pours a nice amber colour, medium head. Great noble hop flavours with nice bitterness stands out along with fairly average malt and mouthfeel. The hop flavours are the best part of this beer, as you would hope given the name. Though it is otherwise just average, the overall effect is very pleasant and I really enjoyed it. Been increasingly impressed, though never astounded, by Okanagan Spring over the past few months.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Not entirely bad, especially for style. Pours clear orange with fuzzy head. Aroma of light hops, crisp malt. Finishes slightly malt sweet, some sourness. Bottle.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Single bottle purchased at a Crowfoot Liquor Store in Calgary, AB on 11/22/2012. Colour: Gold and brown with medium white head. Nose: summer grass field, plain doughnut, pretty plain and not overly fragrant as stated. Taste: medium-light sweet, medium-light bitter, medium-light sour. Some middle citrus hops and a medium body. Thin mouth feel. A bit astringent on the finish. Nice looking but just poorly crafted and lacking real depth in my opinion.
3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a clean, yellow color with a frothy, creamy white head. Aroma is light overall with some notes of lemon and a bit of grassy hops with a light grainy finish. Flavor has a solid balance of light grassy notes and pils graininess. Light, crisp with lower amount of carbonation. Overall not too bad. Hops used fit the style very nicely.

Dull clear orange yellow, foamy white head settles quickly. Malty aroma of vegetables. Sour citrusy and slightly grassy taste, doughy malts. Softly carbed, light bodied. low hopped. Bland finish. Poor. LF (Lagerboy Friendly)
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Not too hoppy and more bitter. Standard Okanagan Spring practice here by not overdoing any element.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottled sample from TAster Pack at MLCC. More hoppy than normail lager which was appreciated. Moderately average
2.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
This beer is pretty tasty. Went down fast. Nice and hoppy , maybe a 30 on the bitterness scale. Poured dark gold almost brass color. I would buy this again, depending on the mood.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
341ml brown bottle. Clear golden brew with a frothy whipped white cap that lasts till the end of the drink Lots of sticky lace. Nose has lemon peel and fairly nice toasty grains. Fairly clean tasting, grains, end with grassy notes. Light bitterness in the finish, slight minerally and metallic hint. Average carbonation. Light body. Not bad, above average in general, and a very nice effort compared to most things they brew. Would drink again.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
341mL bottle from variety 12-pack. Poured a clear golden color with about 2 fingers of thick white head settling to a light dusting of lace. Aromas of hops and cereal. Taste is a little grassy with a lingering hop bitterness in the finish. I did not really enjoy the first bottle, but after a couple of bottles seemed to get better. This is really not that bad a beer.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: AUG 20, 2011 Bottle. Faint bready aroma. Nice brassy colour. Medium carbonation. A little disappointed on the flavour end - especially considering the name of the beer ("Hopped") and the bottle description as saying how much flavour it has. There’s some bread notes and some bitter hops taste. Not bad. Better on the second bottle once my expectations were adjusted.
