Nov 13, 2009 A: Poured with a small, white head that diminished to a thin film very quickly. Dark amber color, with a clear body.
S: Aroma is a little weak... some sweetness in the malt is coming through, which is nice, but I’m not getting much else.
T: Starts sweet, ends sweet. No real bitterness in there at all. Roasted-malt flavor in the finish. Nice.
M: Light-bodied with a creamy texture, and average carbonation.
D: May not be anything overly special, but it’s quite enjoyable, and it would be very easy to put a few back.

Oct 31, 2009 On tap. I’ve had this one several times before, finally gotten around to rating it. Dark coppery brown and clear with a small, lasting head. Aroma is dominated by yeast. Taste is yeasty and has some fruity notes as well. Body is medium light. Malt taste is on the dry side with some roasty flavour. There’s nothing wrong with this beer. It’s just boring.

Jul 24, 2009 Updated: Sep 11, 2009On draught at Bird of Paradise on the Island. Delicious, smooth tasting amber ale which pours with a creamy white foam. Delicate sweetness and low carbonation. An excellent choice when visiting Vancouver Island.

Jul 15, 2009 The first beer I’ve had from this brewery, and I’m quite impressed. The colour is a great amber(duh)and comes with a tan, foamy head. Aroma is pleasantly malted. Taste, mouthfeel, and aftertaste are downright enjoyable.

Jun 29, 2008 6/6/08 On draught at the Stickey Wicket, Victoria, BC. Aroma is very low and malt forward with a noble floral note balance. Appearance is clear copper with a medium maintained off-white head. Flavor is sweet malt forward with a touch of sourness and moderate bittering. Mouthfeel is low bodied with a low carb texture. Overall, very easy drinking, but very low on character.
