355ml bottle <br> 6.0% ABV <br> Milton LCBO Outlet #1 (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> November 12, 2008 <br> The beer poured a translucent reddish-gold with a generous light tan head that lingered. The aroma was hoppy with definite floral hints and citrusy tones. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, slightly high in carbonation, and crisp. The flavour was citrusy grapefruit through and through. An excellent refreshing beer. As this is now sold in LCBO stores in Ontario - I hope Canadian brewers take note and start brewing similar beers by the oceanful.

12 oz bottle <br> 5.0% ABV <br> I tried this beer on November 19, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a translucent orange-red with a very thin very short-lived white head. The aroma is malty with pumpkin and spicy notes (cloves and nutmeg). The mouthfeel was medium bodied with above average carbonation. The flavour was primarily malty with some definite spiciness and a hop-laden finish. Better than the Great Lakes Pumpkin ale in my opinion.

America: Missouri<br> Brewed in Canada by the Labatt Brewing Company<br> October 21, 2009<br> LCBO Outlet #255 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main / Bronte)<br> 355ml can <br> 4.20% ABV <br> $1.60<br> I tried this beer after purchasing a single can from the 'singles' bin at one of my local LCBO outlets. The beer pours a translucent gold colour with a generous white head that disappears quickly. The aroma is phenolic in nature and not appealing at all. The mouthfeel is weak bodied, flat, and lightly carbonated (odd considering the huge head). The flavour is flat, citrusy, and weakly malty. This is a pretty bad beer even by swill standards which makes it even more surprising that the masses love it so much.
