| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 7, 2004 White Cliffs Winter Ales Fest. Gravity. A fresh and lively bitter with a huge dollop of sweet pale malt nicely mingling with a gentle (but increasing) tangyness. The result is a lively and happy premium bitter. A little sweet, but pleasant enough. Sammy (4065), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Mar 5, 2007 Updated: Dec 6, 2007This is the same as the pale ale, as it’s labelled in the US, to appeal to that market. It is a bitter, and a very good one. A fruity tasty bitterness, greapefruit from Challenger and Goldings hops and lots of good comlex malting. Smooth, great lacing. Strong on the palate.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 11, 2007 Bottle (500ml). Hazy deep amber with a large foamy lasting tan head. Sweet, Pretty standard sweet grain aroma, bready with lightly funky herbal hop bitterness; standard. Tastes more bitter, there’s an iron/peat tang to it - still nice and malty, but the finish is fairly long and bitter. Average chewy body, dry and astringent, a bit of a hash aftertaste, and ultimately pretty sour. Odd. Radek Kliber (4000), Toronto (Can) Krotoszyn (Pol), Ontario, Canada

Light haze, amber brown, creamy medium head, and good lacing 3+.
Aroma: creamy, spiced by hop touches, fruity finish with gentle woody strikes.
Medium bodied, woody, slight smoky even nutmeg and hazelnuts. Bitter hopping at edges. Light, clean well rounded ale. Long lasting finish.

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jan 1, 2008 Bottle from the LCBO. Amber body with a small creamy white head. Grapefruit vomit aroma - WTF? Something else I don’t feel like deciphering after the first impression. Moderate bitterness, grapefruit, sweet malt undertones. Average palate. Weird. Flavour is much better than the aroma, but is still just okay. It is possible this is a bit off, but I’m not sure how.
