| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 16, 2005 Clear golden body with a decent head.
Clean malt aroma.
The flavor is lightly sweet with a smooth body. A bit more hops would bring this more into balance. Drinkable, no real problems, just lackluster. tiggmtl (4311), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jul 22, 2005 Orange blossom hop nose over sweet caramel malts. Clear golden coloured body with a slight cover of white head that recedes rapidly to ring. Sharp hop bitterness up front with floral, orange, grapefruit hop flavour joined by mild butterscotch and a tame caramel malt sweetness. Light and somewhat thin with moderate carbonation. Shaker, just above fridge temp. Bottle (RBSG’05 leftovers). beerbuzzmontreal (2911), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 13, 2005 Clear golden color with a thin white head. Aroma of malt, caramel and mild hops. Flavor of toasted malt, caramel and mild hops, mild bitter finish. It’s very true to the english pale ale style, more prominent malt than hops and I like that (I also like strongly hopped beers though). Light to medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. heemer77 (4309), Savannah, Missouri, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 16, 2005 Thanks pintbypint. This poured a light amber with a thin head. The aroma is tangerines with some flowers and aromas. The taste is light grapefruit with some bread and a hint of peaches. pintbypint (1008), Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 14, 2005 34ml brown bottle. Light amber pour, slight trace of a finely bubbled white head on the surface. It does indeed carry a hint of apple in the nose, and caramel and light hops as well. Caramel malt base, nice finishing hops - light bitterness, a trace of sourness as well. iambeer (255), Ontario, Canada
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Apr 27, 2005 This beer I could stand to make a regular appearance in my fridge. Poured a nice amber colour. Aroma is good and the hint of apples makes it very drinkable. Boutip (2379), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 28, 2005 Niagara Bottle: Poured a very light brown ale with nice head with good retention. Aroma is a mix between floral hops and strong malt. Taste is very similar to your average APA but with less sweetness and a bit more bitterness at the end. I was quite surprise since I was expecting a boring macro pale ale but nothing as good as this. Looking back at some other rating, I’m now wondering if my taste buds were out yesterday or if they change their recipe. tupalev (2617), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 22, 2004 Bottle. Came in a 6 pack box labeled "Brock’s Pale Ale", but bottles inside were labeled Pale Ale. Both had the same label, the box just had the extra word. Anyway, small white head on a copper body. Grassy aroma, with some hint of very citrusy hops - they weren’t that powerful, but they screamed tangerines. Taste was mildly bitter, just about right for the style, but the body was very thin and weak. Tangy bitterness at the end. Not bad, but not much really great either. And damn them for making me think this was a new beer with the word Brock.
