cyrenaica (265), Milton, Ontario, Canada Jul 19, 2008 680ml bottle
5.0% ABV
I tried this beer after purchasing from one of my local LCBO outlets. The beer poured a translucent orange-hued gold with a 2cm white bubbly head that stuck around a while. The aroma was primarily grainy malt with a little hoppish hint. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, and mildy carbonated. The flavour was a nice balance between the malt and a hoppy finish. A decent beer. Maltybones (49), Hamilton, Ontario, Canada Jul 12, 2008 Bottle from Cooper St. LCBO. Aroma is clean, with sweet fruits, grass and a little cereal. Appears pale yellow and crystal clear with super high carbonation, but no head to speak of. Flavour is primarily grain with a little bit of sweet malts undreneath. Mouthfeel is very dry and so extremely light as to be actually interesting. Not amazing but definitely good enough for a quick slam on a hot summer day. VeloVampire (381), Parkdale, Toronto, Ontario, Canada Mar 16, 2008 650 ml bomber - poured a pale, pale gold with some decent enough head. Aroma sweet and grassy. Flavour clean, grainy, really simple, but enjoyable enough. Refreshing but MOR. I’d take it over several imports or any macros, but it’s not something I’d buy often, especially considering the excellent options available in this style here. MrManning (1429), London, Ontario, Canada Feb 10, 2008 Bottle- Thanks Joey, I finally get to try this one. Sparkling pale gold pour, with a diminished white fizz. Aroma is grainy with lots of fruity yeasty esters. Some bubblegum too. Taste is pretty grainy sweet, some grassy hops, and it is quite fruity with subtle malts. Refreshing, clean, enjoyable. Maybe I got a good bottle? garthicus (531), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jan 21, 2008 Bottle - Banana, that’s what this beer screams at me, banana aroma with a slight hop flavour with tinges of banana too, ripe fruit finish, not a bad beer
