12 oz bottle at Volo.

Pours a hazy orange/red, thin white head forms, settles to a thin ring, and eventually disappears, drops some thin lacing. Smell is neat, sour, vinegar, cherries and strawberries, lots of fruit, oranges, wood, solid sourness. Taste is oranges, lots of fruit, oak, sour middle, vanilla, caramel, more fruit, acidic sourness, very smooth sour though. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with low to medium carbonation, some warmth, smooth, pretty solid.

Cherry red color, with ruby edges. A beige foam, not too long standing.
The smell is definitely malty, with notes of red fruit and orange marmelade.
Malty start in the taste, too, but not cloying. Then again red fruit and orange marmelade.
Quite pleasant.
Average body. A little too fizzy.
In the aftertaste, not too long, the same notes.

Bar Volo in Toronto. A big topping of head. Nice glossy deep amber appearence. Great responsive carbonation. A very interesting aroma, plenty of dimension, lots to ponder. Very sweet character, some brown sugar, roasty malt and hops. A slightly too thin mouthfeel, watery and with some alcohol coming through. A clean nutty finish. Flavours showcase some chocolatey notes, good malt tastes. This drinks like a neat fusion of so many styles, interesting and recommended.

The best of the three that have been imported. Taste a bit like a saaz hop with bold malting from Maris Otter malts. More malty than bitter and understated carbonation. Similar to the reds brewed here by the macros. Some ideas that are interesting but altogether so-so.Bar Volo.
