(w/ jerc) probstk (1007), Nepean, Ontario, Canada Aug 12, 2008 500 ml bottle from LCBO, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass.
App.: Clear deep golden, fair white head.
Aroma: Fruity malts – apples as usual!, light tree fruits, slightly funky earthiness, not much else...
Palate: Medium-ish body, soft carbonation.
Flav.: Some of the light fruity malts, a bit of earthy, leafy hops; dry with only a hint of bitterness, nothing much on the finish.
Wells Smoldering Brass. BORING. Viper666 (614), Greenfield Park, Quebec, Canada Aug 11, 2008 Bouteille 500ml, courtoisie de Blanboy. De couleur dorée-orange et claire. Nez de de houblon herbeux (gazon, notes de foin et traces de menthe), de grains de malt pâle, léger de fruits (agrumes) et avec des notes de miel. Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture aux notes aqueuses. Goût moyen amer de houblon herbeux (gazon, une amertume présente toute la gorgée) accompagné d’un léger goût fruité (agrumes) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de grains de malt pâle avec des notes de miel et des traces de biscuits puis en finale l’amertume de houblon reprend le dessus en étant herbeux et légèrement asséchant (foin) ainsi qu’avec des notes florales. Post-goût moyen-court et légèrement sec, moyennement amer de houblon herbeux avec de faibles notes fruitées (zest d’agrumes). KimJohansen (6676), Copenhagen V, Denmark Aug 9, 2008 Clear golden with medium white head. Sweet fruity aroma with floral notes. Sweet flavor with fruity and caramel notes. jimmay (179), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Aug 8, 2008 Very average. Next to no head. Didn’t live up to the LCBO hype. Fine carbonation. Won’t buy this again. bluevegie (2169), Perth, Australia Aug 3, 2008 Don’t exactly like the look of it in a clear glass bottle and even then when it was in my glass the appearance still didn’t turn me on. A little watery, a little citrus and a touch of grainy malts, drinkable but nothing really stands out. Average.
