(Toronto, Ontario, Canada) <br> October 24, 2014 <br> The beer pours a golden orange colour with absolutely no head. If I hadn't known better, I would have thought this was orange soda. The aroma is weak grains, and weak citrus. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied, but almost no carbonation. The flavour had a nice grapefruit punch with some caramel and grains, but the beer was disappointing over all. |
