chainman (96), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jun 20, 2007 <b>Bottle, 341ml</b> Not my frist KLB/Amsterdam experience, and since I’m a fan of their beers, I was expecting something good. Pours a pretty copper-red, but I had to fire straight down to generate much head, and it disapeared soon after. Some nice lacing. Aroma is lots of hops...the taste is great! Crisp, hoppy, nice malt balance. Soft mouthfeel, not as harsh as some pales. Alcohol is hidden well. Nice aftertaste, doesn’t linger on the tongue, but those hops sure stick around. More subdued than some other Toronto pales (Mill St. Tankhouse, though good, is almost overbearing next to this). There’s a KLB "taste" that I also associate with the Raspberry Wheat (must be the yeast), and it works well...goes down almost too easy. A quality, well-made ale that I’ll definitely pick up again. I’ve yet to be disappointed by KLB/Amsterdam. Good work, guys! dankfor20 (193), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Jun 17, 2002 A nice pale ale. slight amber color. nice hoppy aroma and taste. could definately pound a few down Crit (2270), New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada Jan 9, 2003 Reddish amber,lasting tan head.Good sweet malt light hop nose.Great crystal malt fore and mid with medium lasting hop end TheJester (521), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Jun 28, 2006 Updated: Aug 14, 2006Little aroma or head. Pale, even for a "pale" ale. Flavour is complex, eventually. Nicely bitter. Very drinkable. argo0 (6332), Washington DC, USA Jul 22, 2002 Clear copper, with British-style hop aroma. Nice bitter flavor with moderate malt complement. Nice on the tongue, goes down bitter.
