    The beer pours a cloudy copper colour with an uneven light tan cap that lingers . Aroma is caramel, citrus, and spices. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavour is caramel, nuts, and a peppery finish. Refreshing and enjoyable.

    Milton LCBO Outlet #1 (Milton, Ontario, Canada)
    June 14, 2013
    The beer pours a hazed orange-gold colour with a generous rocky light tan coloured head. Aroma is very citrusy with some grass in the mix. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavour is well balanced with the malty backbone balanced balanced by the bitter citrus flavours of the hops. A very good beer, very unlager-like though.

    The beer pours a translucent copper colour with a sticky whitish head. The aroma is pine, citrus, spices and caramel. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied, with average carbonation. Flavour is caramel, grapefruit, and a peppery sense. Renaissance makes some decent brews.

    The beer pours a translucent golden colour with a short-lived white head that lingers on as a ring. The aroma is ginger, light fruit, malt, and herbal hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is ginger and citrus up front, with a bitter hoppy finish.

    The beer pours a hazed golden brown with a rocky white head that lingers. The aroma is funky earth, garage floor, and vinegar. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with above average carbonation. The flavour is sour and woody with plenty of funky flavours. There is both a sweetness and a sourness to the finish with the sour winning out.

    The beer pours a hazed orange-gold colour, highly effervescent, with a huge white head that lingers. Aroma is juicy Pacific hops, some spices, and caramel malt. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is citrusy hops, some earthiness, and straw. Not bad, but I was expecting more.

    The beer pours translucent copper colour with a long lasting white head. The aroma is citrusy hops, caramel, and some weak spices. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour is citrusy hops, almost grapefruity, sweet malt, and some Asian spices. Quite enjoyable.

    The beer pours a primarily translucent golden-orange colour with a thin off-white head. The aroma is citrusy hops, some grainy malt, some metallic notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavour is definitely leaning towards the hoppy citrusy side with notes of light grapefruit, as well as good grainy malt notes. An easy to drink IPA.

    The beer pours a hazed yellow gold colour with a huge white head that lasts. Aroma is wheat malt, citrus, bananas, and spices. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavour is very distinctive, very unlike a typical German hefeweizen with notes of wheat, juicy grapefruit, and brief metallic tartness.
