Apr 28, 2007 This ale poured a cloudy dark orange colour with a nice frothy off-white head.
Scents include citrus, spice and some dough. First taste was a little over carbonated and a little thin.Strong hop flavour with a bitter finish. Hops continue through the palate a little too much.

Apr 25, 2007 500 mL bottle from the LCBO, served cool in a small pilsner glass. AP20/07.
App.: Medium-deep amber, decent off-white head, clear.
Aroma: Light wood, earth and nuttiness; hints of toffee and caramel, a bit of fruit – apples, peaches; breadcrust, hints of treacle.
Palate: Medium body, soft carbonation with a few sharp bubbles.
Flav.: Much like the nose, feels a bit thin somehow; moderate bitterness and mild acidity clash with a touch of weird sweetness.
Maybe pesticides and industrial farming practices really do taste good...

does not count  Apr 24, 2007 Bottle from Whole Foods on Old Milton. Okay, I am new at this rating of beer, but this Ale tastes & looks good. Letting it warm up a bit is the best thing I could do for it. Tastes a bit nutty (?), weak head, but good aroma. I like this one and will purchase again.

Apr 23, 2007 Bottle from LCBO. I will grab an armload of this while it is still so wonderfully fresh.
The hops - or something - remind me a little of the slightly ’wild’ flavour of Algonquin Country Lager from many years ago. Just a very fresh natural tasting Ale with a good infusion of expressive character hops.

Apr 21, 2007 Nice amber body with good carbonation and an average off-white foamy head. Decent malty/hoppy aroma with fresh herbal/grassy notes. Fresh hoppy taste that carries malty and nutty hints. It ends with a good bitter finish. Good average ESB.
wilderthanyou (410), Guelph, Ontario, Canada
Apr 20, 2007 A deep orange/amber beer, with a creamy froathy head. Aroma of grass, lite malts, and bread. Aroma slightly reminds me of wychwoods scarecrow beer, so I’m assuming the the bread and grass aroma comes from the Plumage Archer barley. Flavors of malts, and hops, with some bready character. The palat has some decent carbonation, but a watery dry finish wich leaves somethign to be desired. Not a bad beer, but certainely could be better.

Apr 19, 2007 Generous head and lacing. Fresh, The hophead dose of a double IPA in a 5% beer. Much higher IBU tasting than a typical English bitter or IPA style. Hop leaf taste, grassy, mildly astringent, some malt and bitterness in a long aftertaste. Offset was beery cheese aroma.
