Our flagship beer is a refreshing Golden brew that uses a blend of the finest Canadian and German malts giving it a smooth mild body that balances the crisp, pleasant German hop finish. The hops used in this local brew are soon to be grown at our very own hop yard at the Phillips farm in Manotick.

Draft at the brewery
Creamy frothy head with fair retention, a bit of lacing, clear pale color

Nose light lager, little macro like unhappy lager notes, minerals hunting at sulfur, sweet corn and grain, hint of herbal hop

Taste mild corn and grain with a bit more mineral faint sulfur, hinting at skunky unhappy macro lager notes, touch of herbal hop, light buttery diacetyl buttered popcorn, drier finish

Mouth is med to lighter bod, med to lighter carb, touch of slickness

Overall not great

L: Translucent pale yellow, a thin head, and lots of rising bubbles
S: Pleasant hard to describe floral ale smell that improves with time.
T: A bit boring but decent and not corny. Light earthy citrusy hops and light wheaty malts.
F: Refreshing light body and frothy carbonation, a bit sticky
O: Definitely better than any macro beer. Not quite as good as I hoped but I think it lives up to it's description as a complex crusher.

I enjoyed this beer bought 2 cans and they went down nice and smooth creamy head poured into glass 1 finger
It's very easy drinking especially drinking this beer on a hot summers day.

I may be partial as this brewery is down the street from me, however, I think this is the quintessential backyard BBQ beer. Tastes delicious and goes down really well.
