Bottle: Pasteurised.
A full-bodied and malty ale with a rounded, smooth fruit palate and a tight, creamy head that laces all the way down the glass. Rich in colour with a smooth, creamy texture and a distinctively strong flavour.

Pours amber with large off-white head. Aroma of roasted caramel malt and yeast. Flavor to match, but adds more malty sweetness. Well balanced, but a little on the light side.

Bu le 12/1/08, au Highlander Pub à Ottawa en fut (10 oz), Ambrée dorée, moyen collet. Arome doux d’houblon caramelisé, agrume malté. Goût d’houblon un peu sucré d’agrume et de fruits du vergés. Bien mais les saveurs sont si peu impossant, à noté que le fut avait des problèmes.

16.9 oz bottle-A nice amber body with a huge off white head and an aroma of roasted malt, yeast, and a little toffee. This medium bodied ale has a taste of malt and some sweetness and dryness on the back end. A little weak in flavor.

Copper with a nice off-white head. The malty aroma got to me even before the beer was poured. Some biscuit, light fruity hops, and sweet malts. Smooth body. Nothing offensive here, just a glass full of boredom. Malts, bread, and some light sweet fruit notes. I’m drinking this a bit colder than I would like, but that doesn’t excuse the complete lack of anything interesting going on. Not bad but i’ll retain no memories of this one.

Pours a clear amber-brown with a fantastic head and thick, lasting lacing. Aroma is vaguely malty. Tastes chalky & dry, stale malt but nicely balanced hopping. Body is good and carb is decent, wonderful creamy mouthfeel. Don’t get me wrong, this beer is very drinkable, but they need to get rid of that lagery corn taste. Very tell-tale macro. Kudos on decent hopping, though.

Bottle. Good looking but in the end only average for me. I couldn’t find anything to grab on to, everything was somewhat middling or muted. May come through better on cask if it softened up a bit, or perhaps if it had a chance to warm up slightly. I may give it a second chance.

Bottle. Aroma a little bit of buttery toffee,roast malts. Poured a murky brown. Flavor breadish toast malts, raisin like fruitiness, hops are there but not overpoweringly bitter. Palate is medium, quite easy drinking. Overall, I’d drink it again.
