Aug 10, 2004 Dull, a little too thin. I was expecting quite a bit more maltiness to it. Looks nice, though.

Aug 4, 2004 Light amber in colour. Aroma of caramel malt, sugary sweetness with some mild hops. Flavour had lots of caramel, great malt backbone, chocolate sweetness. Medium body, mild carbonation. Finishes quite smooth with a mild lingering bitterness.

Jul 31, 2004 Great colour, a nice copper just as advertised. When the head dies, it DIES - not even enough to ring the glass. Slight toffee taste with clean aftertaste.

Jul 26, 2004 Tastes like what CUB would make if they were trying to make a German-style lager. Lightly toasty malt aroma with some metal. Thin, cardboardy malt with a solid and harsh bitterness. Slight sourness and a weird berry type flavour. Cool bottle.

Jul 16, 2004 Light copper appearance, light trailing head with decent lacing. Fresh carame- like aroma and flavor. A beer that you can tell the recipe has been matured and the brewer knows what they are doing. No high peaks or low valleys, just a smooth, easy drinking beer that is true to the style. Maybe a bit too tart though. Good mouthfeel, not too thick, not too thin.

Jul 16, 2004 A fine example of alt. Grainy, complex carbohydrate/malt aroma -- dark syrup and oats. Great bottle -- shape, embossing, label, seal. Bronze-brown beer. Tartish fruit, moderately sweet, grainy. Mouth goes a little thin, but it’s got a nice oaty finish. This is a great everyday beer - lots of flavor without being too weighty. Thanks to DougShoemaker for the tip in the LCBO!

Jul 13, 2004 Bottle (nice and original by the way): Poured a copper beer with an average white head and average retention. Aroma is comprised solely of some malt. Taste is a bit bland with some low roasted malt and some bitterness at the end. I could not detect any of the supposed beech wood aging though. Overall, nice refreshing beer lacking some complexity.

Jun 5, 2004 Very amber colour, little head. Decent malt flavour. Rather unremarkeable, but ok and very drinkable.
