Sep 11, 2005 Light amber colour. Lifeless appearance - no carbonation to speak of. Fairly light in flavour. Surprisingly bland, I found myself struggling to notice anything at all about this beer.

Aug 3, 2008 Draught at the brewpub
Golden color, nice lace. Very light caramel aroma. It has a smooth caramel flavor and a correct bitterness, but too little interest, for example the hops barely find their way through. Undaring.

Oct 16, 2007 on tap-pours a thin off white head that laces and gold color. Aroma is grain/medium malt funky/barnyard, yeast? Taste is grain/medium malt, secondary/faint flat hops (Kent Golding and Fuggles, then read description which confirmed) OK/mild carbonation.

Aug 5, 2005 Draft at the brewery
Simple, sweet honey and oranges, sour wet dog finish, overall very bland and a little putrid with some mold or compost flavors. Smells like old, spoiled liquid malt extract.

May 29, 2005 Pale amber colour with a thin white lace covering the top. Nice spicy hop nose, light caramel malt. Juicy citrusy hop nose, spicy and a bit woody. Light caramel malt. Flavour is very well-balanced. Sweet and malty up front with some woody hop flavour in the middle. Decent bitterness finishing it off. Much better than the ratings would have had me believe.

Apr 13, 2009 Mild butterscotch underlies the caramel malt and floral hops in the nose. Clear dark golden body is topped by a light off white, fine bubbled head that recedes to a thin cover. Chewy caramel up front with some fruity esters and a touch of butterscotch joined by a decent balancing bitterness and floral hop notes. Toasted malts emerge in the aftertaste. Butterscotch becomes stronger as it warms. Medium body with moderate carbonation and somewhat slick texture. Tulip glass. Cellar temperature. Bottle purchased at Brewery Creek in Apr-09.

Mar 16, 2005 (Draught) Non carbonated. Lasting thin, white, creamy head with an orange-amber body. Nose is slightly fruity of fuggles hops. This cask-conditioned beer has a creamy mixing of crystal malt. The description of an "imperial product" is truly misleading...
presario (2953), Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Sep 10, 2007 Sample at the pub. Light gold. Thin head. Thin aroma. Flavour is a bit soapy. A quiet beer. Hops build through the small glass and are stronger than the aroma led me to believe. Nice enough.
