The beer poured a slightly hazy golden red colour with a thin creamy off-white head. The aroma is bready malt, a hint of yeast, and citrusy hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour is nicely balanced between the malty sweetness and the bitter hoppy finish. Very enjoyable. -

Bar Volo (Toronto, Ontario, Canada)

The label looks like a art class drawing stuck onto the bottle. The beer poured a hazy golden orange with a huge rocky light tan coloured head. The aroma was mainly citrus hops, with a hint of sweet malt and grass. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was very much grapefruit hops, with sweet malt in the background. A nice bitter finish. -

I tried this beer on June 3, 2011 at "Bar Volo" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a deep black colour with a thin brown head into a tulip glass. The aroma was roasted malt, coffee, and molasses. The mouthfeel was full with mild carbonation. The flavour was more pronounced in the molasses direction with the coffee tones taking a back seat, but still there. -
