draught. this is the best one I had on a frighteningly cold evening on the lakeshore. the body is orange-brown with a small white head. typical mild English hopping in the aroma among oranges. light and bready flavour with a little bit of astringency in the finish.

On tap at the Pepperwood Bistro. Orange-copper in colour, very quick dissipating white head. The aroma of light citrus (oranges and lemons), light grass and herbs. The flavour was of light citrus hops, grass, caramel malts, bread. Bitter mouthfeel, medium/light body, medium carbonation. Finishes lightly bitter, lingering, enjoyable.

(Draught) Sampled at the brewpub in Burlington, ON. Pours a lasting frothy, white head with an amber body. Nose is very hoppy a la West Coast - piney. Solid flavour with a good oily texture. Mildly thin and very enjoyable.
