The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is grains, some yeast, a weak light fruit note, and a mild bitter finish. It’s not very good at all.

355ml bottle <br> 5.0% ABV <br> I tried this beer on February 26, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario. The beer poured a dark translucent amber colour with a white head which disappates to permanent lacing. The aroma was slightly malty, but had an unmistakable floral hoppiness that was a prelude of good things to come. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour had some hints of malt, but was very hoppy, with some grapefruit like bitterness in the finish. A very good beer.

March 12, 2008<br> LCBO # 255 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main / Bronte)<br> 500 ml bottle <br> 5.5% ABV <br> $2.30 <br> The beer poured a nice translucent gold colour with a minimal white head. The aroma was mainly grainy malts with nothing else. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with ample carbonation. The flavour was similar to the aroma in that it was very malty with very little other discernable flavours. This beer is readily available in Canada, but is simply an average brew at best. Not something I would consider buying again
