500 mL bottle from LCBO. After 937 ratings I have nothing to say except I liked it. Just the right balance of bitterness.

bottle @ home. Pours an amber beer with a good head. Beer looks nice with a normal aroma. Taste is great. Really enjoyed this beer. Hints of caramel. Delicious beer. Deserves a higher rating on ratebeer.

Bottle. Poured a clear amber with a thin white head. Aroma was full of grainy malts with a slight hop undertone. Flavor was similar to the aroma.

Not a whole lot of hoparoma. Some hopbitternes. Skunkiness due to clear glas bottle.

500 mL nitro can from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville, VA. Color is dark amber once the nitro creaminess subses. Persistent moderate tan head. Fair lacing. Aroma is caramel, bread, butter, subtle citrus and very faint almost unnoticeable hops. Taste is bread, caramel, butter, green apple and a faint hoppy finish. Creamy and smooth. Thin-medium bodied,. Decent bitter.
