Nov 7, 2009 500 ml bottle from the LCBO. pours copper with a white head. skunk and oxidization aroma. if there ever was something to this beer is has been completely destroyed by the clear glass bottle. i have no idea why any brewer would package in clear glass. oh and the beer might have been ok before it got ruined by the packaging. also the LCBO should store a clear glass 4.7% bitter on the top shelf of an unrefridgerated import section.

Oct 25, 2009 500ml bottle. Light amber colour, light hop aroma. Light again in the mouth with a non-descript hop and malt flavour. Easy drinking but a little dull and un-interesting.

Oct 16, 2009 Bottled. An amber beer with a lazing orangey head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and elderflowers. The flavor is sweet with notes of elderflowers and straw, leading to a bitter finish. Nothing special.

Jul 6, 2009 Bottle at a friends BBQ. Gold with a white head. Reasonably well balanced english hops and buiscuty malts. Nothing unusual or outstanding. Better than stella.

May 30, 2009 Pedestrian in some respectives but a good honest quaffer. Nice glowing apricot-orange in the glass. A midly sweet, faintly fruity nose doesn’t give much away. The flavours are much as expected although I quite liked the may the palate weight gradually built up and thicken. Some mild hop bitterness to finish but otherwise unremarkable. A fews over the BB but no worse off as a result.

Mar 22, 2009 Golden orange in colour with a large lingering white head, good lacing albeit fairly light. The aroma is starting to skunk, grassy, herbal, lightly sweet. The flavour is sweet, grainy, herbal and floral, some hop bite, pale malts as well. Lightly bitter mouthfeel, light body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes light, some bitterness but otherwise pretty clean.
I hate these clear bottles. This beer was just released but its already starting to skunk. That definitely distracts you from what this beer may have been like.
