650 ml bottle from LCBO. Pours a orange/gold with small white head. Nose of floral and citric hops and light caramel malt. Flavour is mellow hops, mostly citrus and light earthy/floral, with light caramel malt. Light-medium body. Decent.

650 ml bottle. Pours copper in colour with little head. Very faint aroma of earthy hops. Flavour also is of earthy hops. Very fine caronation. Drinkable.

Bottle: pours copper with a thin head. Aroma is nice bready and caramel malt, light fruity herbal hop. Flavour is medium sweet malt, caramel again, bready pale malts, nice light to medium floral/herbal bitterness in the finish. A decent bitter and one of the better trafalgar brews that I’ve tried.

Bottle: Yay, Trafalgar! I can hardly wait! Amber, almost copper pour, almost no head worth mentioning. Aroma is hoppy, standard malting, nothing stunning. Flavour is good by Trafalgar standards, if not slightly boring. Enough bitterness to notice with smooth, sweet malts. It’s a well done standard ale, my second reasonable brew from these guys. Perhaps they’re worth trying once again.

Bottle. Pours amber with a small to no head. Aroma is small hops, some veggies and some fruits. Taste is some hops with a small bitterness. Overall very bad. Don’t try it.

Bouteille de 660 ml. Nos yeux observent une bière de couleur ambrée avec un col de mousse démesuré. Au nez on respire des arômes de grain frais et de houblon floral. En bouche l’effervescence est élevée et le corps mince-moyen. On goûte des saveurs de houblon un peu aigre avec un légère présence de grain caramélisé.

Amber Copper colour, small aroma of hop and some citrus. Taste is brisk with hop and bitterness aftertaste. Good beer, not great.
