Commercial Description:
Subtle hop notes balanced by a light body and hints of honey make this a refreshingly crisp light blonde ale; an easy drinking favourite.

On tap at the Byward Market in May ’09. Good sweetness, light bread, not much else for aroma. Light gold, clear, meh. Very thick for a kolsch, very thick and rich but I don’t care. Bready sweetness, warm apple pie (very mild one). Nice light carbonation, almost medium bodied, sweet malt finish. Not sure at what point I was fairly toasted...

on tap at the new brewpub in the Byward Market. Golden pour, next to no head. Pretty boring aroma, not much malt, just some grassy hops, and wet grass, and some dull grains. The flavor is pretty boring also, grassy, and grainy.

On tap @ Brewpub. Aroma is light malt, very soft hops, clear golden, small white head, a bit of lace. Taste is light malt, soft fruitiness. Light bodied, balanced, easy drinking, thirst quenching. Good.

En fût. Verre de dégustation directement à la brasserie. Arôme: Odeur de céréales. Apparence: La couleur est blonde avec une faible densité de bulle. Saveur: Goût de céréales. Longue durée de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps et la texture sont mince. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Présence de céréales en arrière goût. (Rating #1675)

Golden Yellow with a light white head. Grassy malt aroma. Strange bready malt flavour. The body seemed well balanced again the carbonation was a bit too much for myself with this one.

Draught at the pub- Yellow sparkling pour with a thin fizzy white head. Grainy nose with some biscuit and pale malts. Fairly neutral flavour profile consisting of muted grainy sweetness, and a bit of biscuit with a tinny finish. Spritzy assertive finish.

Neutral aroma with a bit of cheesiness. Crowning head on golden yellow. Fizzy carbonation, and apple juice off-taste, with bitter and drying finish. Served to me almost warm. ALtogether light and drinkable.

Had this at 575 Bank as well. Maybe it was just that batch but 100% ditto to the last comment, only I finished the whole thing before it had a chance to get warm. One thing I noticed common to all Clocktower beers is the slight soapy aftertaste and vinegry aroma. I have yet to try the Bytown Brown.
