The beer pours a slightly hazed straw gold colour with a generous bubbly white head which lasts a few minutes at most. The aroma is grainy malt, floral hops, some resiny notes, and light yeast. The mouthfeel is light bodied, almost watery with average carbonation. The flavour is sweet grains, and a weak bitter finish. Not impressed.

Tallboy from LCBO. Pours an average size foamy white head and has a pale golden appearance. Decent lacing. Aromas of light floral hops, sweet malts, a bit grassy. Flavours are floral and grassy, light fruity notes. Some grains and wheaty hints. Lively carbonation. Drying mouthfeel. Average retention. Not bad.

Pours a hazy blonde colour with a white cap that goes down slowly and leaves thick foamy lacing. Aromas of oranges and their juices over mild malts and hints of tropical fruits. The taste has citrus notes as well with the hops, but the finish is quite short. Seems a little unbalanced all-around, maybe a tad infected, but nothing horrible for a first brew. Lacking some cereal malt notes though.

Malty, and kind of nutty, with an orange like nose. Yet overall somewhat watery and weak. Wouldn't make a bad lawn chair beer/summer quaff I suppose. Not a bad looking beer, just nothing really grand either. If we could assign half points I'd have given it a 6.5 instead of a 6.
