Cactus Club Cafe Ugly Ale

Draft at The Cactus Club Cafe in Vancouver. I think this may be brewed by Granville Island rather than Sleeman, as the previous rater suspected. Also, it is a hefe, and a decent one at that. Perhaps the recipe changed. Very cloudy, tawny beer. Ugly to some, perhaps, but it looked pretty good to me. The head was thin and white. Smelled of yeasty bread dough, spices, and subdued banana bread. Medium bodied and delicately sweet. Tasted of banana bread, minimal clove, and some caramel.

(Draught) On tap at the Cactus Club Cafe in Victoria as their house specialty beer called "Ugly Ale." Pours a near headless body with a clear, non-carbonated deep amber body. Nose is toxic butterscotch. Flavour is weak and mildly buttery. I originally thought that this "specially brewed to their recipe" was Granville Island because of other Granville beers on tap and the very similar Pale Ale taste of the exact butterscotch that I got from the GI Pale Ale at the Tudor House. Web evidence suggests that its a Sleeman brew?
