piscator34 (1121), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Jan 18, 2008 Bottled sample via paco. Pale orange in colour with moderate carbonation. Aromas are of toasted bread, munich malt, orange marmalade, and light floral hops. The toast flavors are more toasted-nutlike. The bread element in the mouth is a bit more untoasted. A bit of spice, and a bit more of the malty orange thing. More hop flavor than expected, but still within style guidelines. Medium to light bodied. Very well executed, and very drinkable. Well done! tiggmtl (4310), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Nov 26, 2006 Light bready malt forward aroma is pleasant if simple. Clear deep copper coloured body topped by an almond coloured head that recedes to partial cover with some lacing. Bready and toasted malt flavour with decent botterness and lightly spicy, earthy hop flavours. Piquante carbonation is quite assertive. Rather dry medium body. Sampled on tap at the brewpub before the Als/Riders game. pootzboy (1042), Hawgville, Ontario, Canada Jun 2, 2006 Updated: Jul 19, 2006650ml Bomber filled fresh from the brewery 1 week ago. Pour puts a beautiful red-copper lager in the glass with a very slight protien haze...has a puffy, clinging 2 finger sandy colored cap which lasts well and laces. Moderate carbonation. Aromas of rich toasty-sweet red Munich type malts and just the slightest whisp of herbal noble hopping. Meduim bodied, gentle creamyness to the mouth feel....wunderbar! Starts out with a nice infusion of toasty-nutty, bread- like malts that give a impression of liquid Bavarian walnut loaf then the attenuated nobels give some herbal buffering to the rich toasty malts midway and produces a soft elegant mix of maltiness and herbs that dries out and bitters the crisp finish just enough to keep the drink from being sweet.... appetising biscuit snap in the after taste as well as slow hop bittering... A great Canadian Vienna true to style and infinately drinkable. Absolutely no technical flaws. Bravo to the brewer for recreating this elegant, subtle and increasingly uncommon lager style! CapFlu (3481), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Jan 2, 2006 (Draught) 5 oz sampler tasted at the brewpub on December 29, 2005, for $1.50. Lasting large white head with a golden-orange body. Roasted and filling bready nose - yet the flavour was somewhat thin and mildly buttery and acidic. I definitely enjoyed the Classic Vienna more... paco (204), Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada Sep 8, 2005 Very sweet, nutty aroma. Copper colour with a thin white head. Way too creamy for my liking. Very similar to the Regina Pale Ale I’d say. Fiend (104), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Mar 11, 2005 I was very impressed with the aroma of this beer. There is definitely a nutty flavor present, and the beer has a nice finish which leaves a lingering flavor on your tongue. Beerguys (50), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Mar 11, 2005 Nice creamy head. Light copper color. There is a sweet smell that comes through the malt. Like the last 2 Bushwakker beers, this one has the same malty/lite bitter taste. presario (2956), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Mar 11, 2005 A lighter gold than the other Bushwakker beers. Nice white head. Aroma is slightly syrupy and oily. Malty yes but a definate hop prescence frrom start to finish. Malt provides a trace of caramel or toffee. Almost like a lower IBU IPA. Trace of high quality nuts in the finish. Bushwakker is a definate stop on a trip through Regina. (No one stays there, right?)
