This is a nasty, brutish beer. Pours a slightly hazy, but bright gold with a partial film that leaves not bad lace. Downhill from there. Smells and tastes sour, quite an unpleasant mouth feel. Beyond an acceptable appearance, no redeeming qualities.
Not drinkable.

A drainpour. Beer cheese aroma, a bit of head on yellow. They make you buy a 750 ml. to get a taste. Bitterness and malt and metallic of the worst sort. Acidic in mouth, not the worst I have had, but very bad for a so-called craft beer,More malty than anything else.

Blech! This stuff tastes awful.
Pours a clear copper color with a few big carbonation bubbles. The head fizzles out very quickly and leaves very little lace. The aroma is sweet and tart with on odd pungent feel, very unpleasant. The taste is an utter trainwreck of off flavors. This is really hard to drink. Some rotten passionfruit battles with massive fusel alcohol vapours (this is only 4.8%? no way) and fetid diacetyl. A sickly sweet sour taste lies in the background. Hops are coursely bitter, is that even hops? The mouthfeel cloying and slightly syrupy with irratic carbonation. The finish is overly sweet and sour at the same time.
This beer is sub par. They were literally unpacking a case at the LCBO when I snagged a bottle so Im sure its fresh. It was probably fermented too warmly amoung other things. It has the cheap beginner yeast flavor of Elora beers, maybe the same yeast is used?
Bleh. Ontario craft brewers generally suck at making beer, sorry it had to be said. All we can do is support the few who know how to make beer properly.

Pours a clear golden, big white head forms, goes pretty quick, some lacing on the glass. Smell is sweet, some honey, some citrus, vanilla maybe, grains. Taste is grainy, grass, citrus, wheat, pretty weak flavour. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with low carbonation, watery. Glenora can't seem to do anything right!

Appearance: Barely hazy orange-red. Small head with little head retention.
Smell: Fruity - plums come to mind. Some honey-like sweetness is barely there.
Taste: Very tart up front. Some bitterness in the finish. Not much in between. The sourness seems to be rather overwhelming.
Mouthfeel: Maybe a bit light bodied. Nothing special.
Drinkability: No way. I'm determined to finish this one, but never again.
