| 1.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Oct 15, 2008 In short: A macro-like “amber” ale. Insulting.
How: Tap at Angel Inn, Niagara on the Lake
The look: Clear light copper body topped by a short lived off-white head
In long: Boring dominant flavour of artificial caramel. No hops to speak of. Really feels like an extract-based brewed beer. Reminiscent of a macro “amber” ale like Rickard’s Red or something like that. Exclusive to the Angel’s Inn of Niagara on the Lake, a little vacation town for wealthy old-folks for whom good beer is as important as a good underground alternative music scene. pootzboy (1048), Hawgville, Ontario, Canada

On Tap at the Angel Inn in Olde Niagara On The Lake...historic tavern. Tapped a dark copper-red with a small rocky cap. Not much in the nose but a bit of caramel sweetness, some sour mustiness and just the lightest wisp of hops. Silky but weak mouth feel...sweet caramel malts with a sourish ale yeast tang to it...hops are virtually non existant...inoffensive enough for a house ale but not worth the trip unless you live close by. tupalev (2616), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Aug 8, 2005 I was looking up another Trafalgar rating and noticed they brewed this - neat, I have a rating store dup from my trip to the Angel in from the May long weekend. Dark red pour, small tan head. Light maltiness in aroma - so far so good. Taste is a disappointment - mild sweet taste, but pretty syrupy and unbalanced all on a watery base. We enjoyed the Angel Inn Bitter (which is the Niagara Falls Pale???) much more. If someone else is brewing this now let me know, I find it kind of odd that Trafalgar would be doing this since Niagara does all the other brews (although they have a ton of import taps as well). Cool spot, worth checking out when it isn’t too touristy. jerc (3888), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
