| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 26, 2008 Poured a clear orange color with a big off white head. Aroma was very malty for an APA, almost like a bitter. Flavor was much the same, not quite sure how this is an APA. Not a bad beer, just too malty to be an APA. speedywinger (27), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 11, 2008 Off white head on orange tinted amber body. Aroma is malts, caramel, grains and some fruity hops. Flavor is sweet caramel malts with a hoppy, dry, slightly soapy finish. Nice beer...one of the best at The Beer Store in Ontario.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 4, 2008 Via trade with matt7215. Thanks! A pretty standard APA. Aroma was all caramel malt. Pour was a decent dark amber with a one finger off white head. Taste was nice and malty in the front with a grassy hops aftertaste in the back that is very light and not bitter at all. This is a good beer, just not breaking any new ground. azlondon (667), Fribourg, Switzerland

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 22, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. This is their flagship beer I am told. Pours dark copper with a medium off-white head. Has a nice mild pine tree aroma. Big hoppy grapefruit and cedar shake flavors with lots of roastedness on the tongue. This is a seriously solid brewpub pale ale. Not excessive, but solid in all its profiles. andyp (4), Canada does not count | 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 20, 2008 A solid choice from an Ontario craft brewery. Not overly malty in flavour, but enough body to hold up to the hops. A bit of spiciness from the hops, not an American flavour. Colour is a bit darker than you might expect from tasting it; it’s not heavy. A nice pint with hop flavour, something that can be hard to find in Ontario.
