Floral grass and pine hops along with malt to the nose. First taste is Light floral, citrus (mostly lemon), and pine. Aftertaste is piney. A creamy medium body with pleasant carbonation.

I tried this beer on December 22, 2007 after purchasing my local LCBO outlet. The beer poured a beautiful translucent pale red colour with a generous off-white head that disipates into ricky islands. The aroma is primarily malty with some sweet adjucts as well. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, creamy, and mildly carbonated. The flavout is primarily malt with some hop bitterness attached
