Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 6
Straw colour, no head or lacing. Weak wet aroma. Watery mouthfeel. Bread and wet hop flavour but subdued. Disappointed. No need to have this in a 750ml bottle.

Single bottle at the LCBO and did not recognize that this was a beer from this brewery, as it is quite different from their others. Pours a slight hazed, golden colour with a small frothy head that leaves a creamy slim top and lacing all-around. The mouthfeel is wet (like the title implies) with the hop in the background, and the grain that lingers a bit with the light grass. Quite a nice, grainy and mildly hoppy Pale Ale that is easy to drink. Having this one before my Christmas eve dinner.

Pours a small amount of frothy head. Has a slightly hazy golden colour. Fairly weak lacing. Has mild floral hop aromas with some notes of pine, grass and light grainy malts. Very nice and smooth mouthfeel. Mostly floral hop and piney flavours, light sweetness. Also some notes of lime and citrus hops. Not really bitter at all, perfect for someone not into strong IPA's. Much more subtle and not in your face. Lively carbonation. Medium bodied. Pretty good and real easy going down.

750ml bottle racked 2 weeks ago - pours a hazed honey-straw color with a moderate puffy white cap. Medium carbonation. Aroma is ambrosia for hop lovers - floral, piney, citrusy with a hint of pale malts. Bright succulent green hop character in an APA pale ale base. Flavour follows aroma with more intensity from the green hop cones and a great dusty pale malt vehicle - finishes clean, brightly hoppy with a nice floral-herbaceous wet hop kiss at the end. Gorgeous stuff, I'd drink this all the way through Oktoberfest if it were not so pricey.

The beer pours a translucent metallic gold colour with a thin white head. The aroma is grains and citrusy hops. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour was very grainy, some weak grapefruit hoppiness, and light spice. Aroma was decent but everything else associated with this beer was below average for me.
