Oct 30, 2006 Pours a clear reddish amber to copper with a white head, quickly disappearing to nothing. The nose is rather bland and empty. Light subtle sweetness (caramel?) and a tiny bit of hops. This could use a bit more depth. The palate is average to slightly better than average. Very liquidy, with moderate carbonation providing some volume in the mouth, The flavor is a touch deeper than a aroma. Sweet caramel is less apparent here than are burnt, almost slighly sour flavors. Hops are almost gone. There’s something slightly grapey. Not great really, but I’ve drank plenty worse.

Jul 15, 2006 From bottle. Fruity aroma of pears and hops. Light golden cloudy appearance with just a hint of head. I expected more from this beer, but as I taste it, just seems dull. A bitter with a musty taste. This beer is just boring.

Mar 21, 2008 500 ml bottle from the LCBO. pours orangish red with a mid sized tan head. almost no aromas but whats there is caramel malts and light hops. flavours are nicely balanced between the caramel and hop components but are to small to be really enjoyable. over carbonation makes this one lose a point in palatability. pretty good but not something id buy for the price they charge here in ontario.

Sep 8, 2007 Pours a caramel color with a slight red tone to it. Smell has a barley tone to it with a mild sweet edge to it. Taste is somewhat interesting with a pronounced barley flavor to it. It has a frothy mouth to it that feels good. You could drink a lot in a sitting and it is worth trying, but I have to say I doubt this is the finest example of the style.

Nov 12, 2006 Poured a murky copper orange with a lacing but whispy white head. Malty aroma with just a hit of hops, aroma similar to most ESBs. Satisfying flavor, but not extraordinary. Pleasant and refreshing but hardly unique.
