I tried this beer on July 1, 2008 at “Smokeless Joe’s” in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a translucent dark golden red with a thin white ring for a head. The aroma was sweet malt, and some floral hoppiness. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with light to medium carbonation. The flavour is a little sweet with a definite hoppy taste, not grapefruit strong, but still hoppy. -

I tried this beer on July 1, 2008 at “Smokeless Joe’s” in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a translucent dark gold with a bubbly white head. The aroma was grainy malt with a slight trace of hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, with medium to high carbonation. The flavour was smooth with some grainy malt, some spice, and a slight hoppy bitter finish. -

The cider poured a very pale yellow with a loose bubbly head that disappeared quickly. The aroma is mild pear. The mouthfeel is highly carbonated, light, and almost champagne like. The taste is sour pears, and almost has a white wine feel/taste to it. Very dry. -

The beer was originally in a clear bottle showing a translucent reddish-brown beer. The beer poured a translucent red with a thin tan head. The aroma was caramel malt, some nuts, and a little yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, well carbonated, and crisp. The flavour is nutty malt, with a nice hop balance, a very enjoyable beer. -

The beer poured a hazy orange-pink with a thin white head. The aroma is primarily grapefruit, but some wheat and hops does come through. The mouthfeel is thin, but not quite watery, with medium carbonation. The flavour is as described, a grapefruit laden hefeweizen. -

The beer poured a translucent pale yellow, probably the palest yellow I have ever seen on a non-North American product. The head was white, bubbly, and disappeared quickly to a ring. The aroma was stale grainy malt and not much else. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, with medium carbonation. The taste was more stale grains and a little hoppish bitterness. Nothing I'll buy again. -

I tried this beer on June 23, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a translucent reddish brown with a creamy tan coloured head which lasted. The aroma was a little bit of grainy maly with some floral hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, and lightly carbonated. The flavour is mildly hoppy with a nice bitter finish. Very drinkable. -

The beer pours a translucent dark gold with some reddish hues. The head started out as loose and bubbly before quickly receding to a thin ring. The aroma was very grassy with nothing else notably present. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied, medium carbonated. The flavour was primarily grainy malt with a little peppery spiciness on the tip of the tongue. -

The beer poured a very dark translucent brown, with some reddish hints. The head was tan coloured, and lasted. The aroma was roasted malt, chocolate, and toffee. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, creamy, with a sour hint. The flavour was roasted malt, dry cocoa, and a little bit of sourness and bitterness covering the tongue.
