I tried this beer on draught on October 21, 2011 at "Bar Volo" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer arrived a translucent ruby red colour with a 1" white cap that lingered. The aroma is grainy malt, a hint of caramel, some floral hops, and a weak spiciness. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was sweet malt and some graininess -

I tried this beer on October 21, 2011 at "Bar Volo" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a translucent red with a generous rocky tan coloured cap. The aroma was pine, grapefruit and caramel.....certainly on the hoppy end of the spectrum. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour is well balanced between the sweet malt tones and grapefruit hop tones. Very drinkable. -

I tried this beer on October 15, 2011 at a friend's house. The beer poured a translucent light gold colour with a huge genourous short-lived white head. The aroma was very citrusy mixed with hints of sewage. The mouthfeel was watery with mild carbonation (despite the apparent effervescence in the glass). The flavour was weak lime, old grains, and metal. Not enjoyable, and nothing I would ever buy for myself! -

The beer pours a light golden orange in colour with a thin tan head that lasts a while. Aroma is citrusy hops, caramel, and light fruit. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour is caramel, fruit, weak grapefruit, and a nice bitter finish. This would definitely make a great session beer. -

The beer poured a translucent light red colour with a frothy tan cap that quickly disappeared. The aroma is alcohol, grains, some caramel as well. The mouthfeel was full bodied and creamy with mild carbonation. The flavour was dominated by alcohol and rubber-like bitterness. I will not buy again. -

The beer poured a translucent dark brown with a thin tan coloured head. The aroma was roasted malt, caramel, dark fruit, and yeast. The mouthfeel was creamy, full bodied with good carbonation. The flavour was dark fruits, molasses, roasted malt, and more yeasty notes. An excellent beer. -

The beer poured a black colour with brown edges and a thin light brown head. The aroma was roasted malt, coffee, and reminded me of breakfast. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was watered down cold coffee, some molasses, and a decent bitter finish. -

Review #700
550ml draught
5.9% ABV
I tried this beer on tap on October 7, 2011 at "C'est What" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer was a golden orange in colour with a thin snow white creamy head. The aroma was pineapple, citrus, and grains. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was tropical fruit sweetness and some grassy maltiness. Went down very easily for a 5.9% ABV beer.
Note: After finishing the beer, the bartender informed that she also thought it was pineapple we smelled and tasted, but it was in fact mango and peach.
