Jul 7, 2008 Bottle (clear, ugh!) from the LCBO. Bright golden with a medium white head. Aroma has a kmild skunkiness to start, but once it airs out a bit, there are some pleasant floral notes, along with honey and a slightly woody character. Body is light and crisp, and the flavour has the floral and honey notes promised by the aroma, along with a squeeze of citrus towards the finish. Not bad, a nice summer ale, but would probably be better/fresher tasting if available in a brown bottle.

Jul 5, 2008 Clear bottle (why do brewers choose these?). Pours a slightly hazy amber orange with lots or carbonation and a thick white head. Aroma is unappealing, with cerals, floral and cittrus hops masked by cardboard. Flavour is cereals with the metalic/minerally notes common to a lot of the waters used in UK brewing. Very little hop profile at all. Thin watery palate. Yuck.

Jul 5, 2008 i think the clear bottle was not a great idea for this beer.... orange golden color, lotsa fizzy bubles that are gonequickly nose is malts and skunky smell, kinda bland flavor except for the skunkiness and a odd metallic flavor. would try again to rerate but not with it being in a clear bottle.

Jul 1, 2008 500mL bottle, pours a golden colour with little bit of head. Aroma is a but musty. Flavour is nice, slightly bitter but nothing too unique. Bitter and long finish. Not bad in comparison to a macro lager, but nothing too special to make me want to go out and buy this on a regular basis

Jun 30, 2008 Pours a golden brown with a thin white head. Aroma is straight up skunk. I’m thinking of starting a patition to ban clear bottles. The flavour OK, despite the skunkiness, some hoppiness, with a decent malt bass line. It’s an alright beer, but it could be much better.

Jun 29, 2008 Bottle purchased from LCBO seasonal beers. Pours a golden brown with white head. Quite a grainy flavour. A tad watered down and overly carbonated. By no means bad, hard to go wrong with bitters, but this one was far from great.

Jun 29, 2008 Honey colour with a slight smell of flowery hops. Small off white head alot of carbonation. Had a malty taste with a hint of citrus. Too much fizz for my liking.
