    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.

    The beer pours a translucent golden yellow with a thin white head. The aroma is wheat malt, and banana. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavour is smoked malt, wheat, and bubblegum. Decent, but nothing groundbreaking or outstanding.

    Milton LCBO Outlet #1 (Milton, Ontario, Canada)
    September 27, 2013
    The beer poured a solid black colour with a minimal brown head. Aroma was roasted malt and molasses. Mouthfeel was medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavour was roasted malt, and a sour metallic note. Better than a macro golden lager, but not something I'll try again after the six pack is gone.
