The beer pours a translucent copper colour with a huge light tan that lasts a few moments. The aroma is citrusy hops, light caramel, some toasted nuts, and biscuit notes. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is very citrus forward, especially grapefruit, with hints of cereal malts, caramel, and pine. An enjoyable beer to watch a game with.

Can that pours a hazy copper brown colour with an amber highlight. Big frothy-creamy beige head that last quite a while with full dirty lacing. This red ale does smell like the style with the maltiness, mild nuttiness and hints of caramel. Flavours of apples still malty with some caramel notes. Light hops lingers in the finish. A nice dry mouthfeel, but not too much. Some particles show in the last pour. This is quite a nice red ale with lots to offer without being too much.

Can from LCBO. Pours a huge foaming beige head and has a dark amber appearance. Big thick dirty lacing remains. Aromas of toasted and bready malts, some earthy and resin hop notes. Flavours are a mix of citrus hops and toasted malts. A little bit of hoppy and has a dry finish. Unfortunately has a little bit of a rusty like taste on the palate as well. Other than that, fairly average red ale.
