| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 6, 2004 Caramel and cane sugar breezes over light citrus and resinous bitterness...Near-silent butterscotch notes comply with the almonds and remain subdued...A floury, dryish ending disappoints a bit, in this a very typical, well-made yet unexciting, Ontario brew...Thanks Jercraigs!... beanmedic (324), Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
