Harsh sweet smell with a bite. Very nice malty taste with very little hops taste. Very full of flavor for a low alcohol beer, though. Slightly hoppy aftertaste with a malt undertone.
Bottled on 10/30/13, drank on 1/17/14, 2.5 months old.
Sweet smell with a slightly sour lager aroma. Very strong initial hop taste, but mellows very quickly. Immediately replaced my a light malt flavor then fades out smoothly leaving just vacant hints of malt and hops.
Strong sweet hop aroma. Nice full flavored hoppiness that’s balanced very well by a strong malt backbone. Leaves you with a mostly malt taste but mixed with a strong hop presence at the same time.
Bottled 11/05/13, bought & drank on 1/3/2014, about 2 months old.
Nice sweet, sharp hop aroma. Crisp, hop sweetness that instead of a dry hop bite on the end of it, has a milky sweet smoothness. Further drinks have a complex combination of hop sweetness, hop dryness, and a malty caramel taste. Quite interesting. Especially for a Canadian beer.
Very notable sweet aroma, thick and heavy. Sharp sweet hop bite, but mellow/smooth on the backside. The barrel aged sweetness slowly sneaks in to the aftertaste. Bottle 438 of 816, small batch brewed. Hides the high alcohol content well. I can’t believe the small print says made with chamomile, rose petals, & juniper. Sounds yuck.
