500ml bottle <br> 5.2% ABV <br> Best Before: September 1, 2012 <br> King/Spadina LCBO Outlet (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) <br> May 30, 2012<br> The beer poured a slightly hazed medium gold colour with a 1" snow white head, and plenty of effervescence. The aromas were grtass, citrusy hops, spices, and orange peel. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was definitely on the bitter side with very little sweetness brought on by any of the malt or fruit aromas. Generous amounts of orange and grapefruit and a sharp bitter end dominate the flavour. Would be a very sessionable beer had it not been for the bitter aftertaste.
