blankboy (2687), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jan 3, 2006 <i>Cask at Bar Volo.</i> Pours a clear bubbly orange-amber with an average size white head. Overly mild aroma of citrus hops with a little malt thrown in. The flavour isn’t the "hop-kick" I thought it would be but it still has it’s fair amount of citrus hops along with some caramel malt, fruit and honey to balance things out. Medium bodied and goes down smooth. Well done, I look forward to drinking it again. HogTownHarry (3361), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada Dec 16, 2005 <b>Draught (cask)</b>. <i>At Volo</i>. Poured a clear light amber with a decent thin creamy off-white head. Aroma of lightly woody malt, some light tart treefruit, peat, and tons of rich, dry, resiny evergreen hops. Taste is primarily the aforementioned hops - some light roast malt and fruit character, but it’s about the hops (although the malt re-emerges some as it warms. Mouthfeel is very astringent, thick and oily - this is a very nice, if one-dimensional hoppy session brew - sip it and enjoy. Once again, well done Perry! tiggmtl (4178), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Aug 17, 2005 Thick, chewy caramel and toffee malt aroma with fairly simple grapefruit-citrus hop nose. Hazy tan-brown with low but lasting cover of creamy head that leaves some patchy lacing. Caramel malts, up front with an emerging assertive bitterness. Overall character is very juice-like - peaches, apricots and grapefruit. Creamy texture to the medium body with low carbonation. Sampled on cask with muzzlehatch, Olivier MTL and Rastacouere at the Winking Judge in Hamilton. Crockett (903), Steelback County, Ontario, Canada Aug 14, 2005 Deep orange gold big light tan head. Sweet and perfumey hop aroma. Smooth and still. Very bitter. Woody and herbal with notes of vanilla, caramel and strawberry. Very aggressive and one dimensional. OlivierMTL (712), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Aug 14, 2005 Servi à partir d’un cask. Apparence mi-claire, une multitude de protéines de houblons flottent dans le liquide. Arômes de bois et de sucre d’érable. Malt timide, fruitées, flaveurs de jus de pêche artificielle, houblon mi-amer se devenant plus tard presque astringent en finale.
