| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 17, 2009 Cask. At Volo Cask Days 2009. Beer of the festival for me. Hazy gold pour, with an average lasting off-white head. Aroma - wow!!! - mango, ripe grapefruit, very floral ... literally mouth-watering. The taste is a bit more conventional, and simple - sweet, floral and grassy-bitter, very mild alcohol presence ... slick mouthfeel, mildly acidic, with a slightly pungent fruity/grassy finish - stunning aroma, I went back for several more pours. garthicus (1276), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Clear, medium orange body with a big quick bubbly white head. Bitter orange hops flavour has a wonderful sweet orange finish. Medium body is a little bitter. A great start to the weekend portion, but just an overall great brew.

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Nov 2, 2009 Volo Cask Days 2009. My favorite beer of the festival. LOADS of citrus, and floral hops, i couldnt get my nose out of the glass. The flavor was pretty mute on the malt, and just dominated by the hops, but being a big hop fan i didnt mind at all. Just a great beer for the hop head in you. The finsh wasnt overly bitter, it was more of a sweet hops experience. Slacks (485), Bolton, Ontario, Canada
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Nov 1, 2009 Cask Days 2009 @ Bar Volo, Toronto, ON: Hazy and light orange in colour, no head to speak of. Strong, fresh hop aroma with honey and lemon. Flavour is a bit sour, hoppy, citrus, quite interesting. Sadly, it was the only one of the day I couldn’t complete, something about it just didn’t appeal. Good effort, but just seemed to be missing something. tomthompson89 (1479), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Lightly hazy golden amber, near headless. 3+ Lovely aroma, leafy hops blend beautifully with sweet citrus, orange, tangerine. Flavour is similar, sweet citrus melange over leafy green hop undertones. Muted malt accents are supportive. Average palate is flat which makes it feel more thin bodied than it is. Very good, one of my favorites of the festival.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 1, 2009 High IBU felt here, despite 45 ranking. Cask at 2009 Volo Cask days. Taste like freshly squeezed orange and grapefruit juice. Dry hopping, a bunch of finishing hops. Amarillo and C hops? Good soapy head, and malted down with something giving it unique overall flavour.
