I tried this beer on May 21, 2009 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a translucent light red colour with a ton of effervescence and a thin tan coloured head. The aroma was sweet malt, grain, and hops. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied, and highly carbonated. The flavour was sweet malt with a bit of sourness and a bitter finish.Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 3

It poured a translucent red with orange hues and a huge white head that quickly collapsed. The aroma was sweet malt, some nuttiness and a little hoppy floralness. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was more towards the grainy malt side with some grapefruity hoppish tones thrown in the mix.Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

I tried this beer on on tap on May 14, 2009 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a slightly translucent solid red with a short lived tan head that laced. The aroma was grainy malt, raspberries, and sweaty socks. The mouthfeel was weak bodied (almost watery) with medium-high carbonation. The flavour was tart raspberries, green apples, metallic steel and some malt. Not a beer I will try again.Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7
