The aroma is caramel malt, floral hops, and some mild fruity notes. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour contains the Trafalgar funk, some metallic hops, and off-flavoured caramel. -

I tried this beer on April 9, 2012 after purchasing from the Queen's Quay LCBO Outlet in Toronto, Ontario, Canada - Part of the LCBO Spring 2012 Release. The beer poured a hazy light gold colour with a thin white ring that lasted. Aroma was primarily grainy malt, with a little sweetness. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with mild carbonation. Flavour had a mild citrusy hoppy taste, some grapefruit, with some sweet malty balance. Very enjoyable. -

The beer poured a translucent pale gold colour with a short lived white head, and plenty of effervescence. The aroma is very similar to Sprite/7-Up with some graininess and a weak hint of tea. Certainly not enough of a tea hint to convince me it's a 'tea flavoured' beer. Mouthfeel is watery and mildly carbonated. Flavour is gross. Definitely more tea flavour than aroma. Some acidic notes, some grain, and weak citrusy sweetness. Definitely a beer to avoid. -

I tried this beer on cask on March 30,2012 at "C'est What" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a hazy orange gold swith a creamy long lasting 1" tan head. Aroma was pine, citrus, and some grassy hints and some caramel tang. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour has a lingering grapefruit bitterness that hung around long after the beer was gone. There was some cereal and pepper in the flavour as well. -

The beer pours a deep, semi-translucent copper colour with a very thin white head. Aroma is earthy funk, and tart cherries. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with mild carbonation. Flavour is sour funk, wood, and tart fruit. There is a definite vinegar tome to this sour. -
