sstackho (198), Toronto, Ontario, Canada May 2, 2008 330mL bottle purchased from LCBO in Toronto. Pours a poor fizzy pale gold. Little head and no lacing. Decent malty aroma. First taste is sweet. Very sweet. The taste remains syrupy throughout. The malts don’t balance out the sweetness and the hops are not noticeable. Not an enjoyable beer.
