Tried this beer on-tap at a Shananigan's after I have already drank a couple so this may not be a completely accurate review but here goes:

Appearance is light blonde with a thin head initially that maintains itself well and leaves behind a thin, frothy lace.

Smell is slightly citrusy with hints of pine and is somewhat spicy to the nose.

Taste is close to the smell. Malt gives a smooth texture and the hops provide a citrus flavor, consisting mostly of apricot. The brew finishes dry.

Mouthfeel is good: light to medium bodied with plently of tingly bubbles.

Overall, a descent blonde ale. I usually prefer more hops than what this beer has to offer but it is quite drinkable and tasty at the same time. Would make a great session beer!

Serving type: on-tap

Had this from a mixed pack that my wife bought.
Looks hazy.
Smells like a dry apricot.
Flat and uninteresting flavor and mouthfeel.

I thought id give this a try since my wife seems to like it. Maybe her review will balance out my glaringly bad review.

Is the #9 in reference to how many attempts it took for them to get to this flavor profile? Maybe they should have a #10. Just sayin.
