| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 29, 2009 A malty aroma with a hint of strained grain. This is fairly decent. Not funky, just a bit uninspired. Not real malty but decent enough. Gravelle (100), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 10, 2009 Golden orange coloured, classic amber ale nose with caramel nuances. Tastes a little nutty, mild caramel. Another typically safe, but enjoyable beer from Granville. RichardGretton (3153), Leicestershire, England

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 26, 2009 Bottle. Poured a clear dark orange color with a thin off white head. Smelled of dark fruit, toffee, and brown sugar. Light to medium bodied, crisp, and delicately sweet. Brown sugar was the most prominent flavor, but there were also caramel and cola notes.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 5, 2009 I used to think this was a fairly workable pour when I was in University. Had a bottle for nostalgia purposes recently, and was surprised how out-of-balance this beer is. Caramel sweetness is too prominent, and fruitiness overpowers any hop flavour. garthicus (1309), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Dark amber with a brief head.
Very sweet and malty with a lot of toffee.
Fruity in flavour. A bit too sweet and a bit thin.
