6/6/08 On draught at the Stickey Wicket, Victoria, BC. Aroma is earthy, funky, dusty hop flora forward with a light sweet malt balance. Appearance is clear copper with a medium maintained white head. Flavor is sweet malt blended with a sour, kind of metallic hop flora. Mouthfeel is medium low bodied with a medium carb texture. Overall, the aroma is just a killer.

<i>Bottle courtesy of Mirek.</i> Pours a clear bubbly golden-orange with an average size diminishing white head. Aroma: Hmmm, not loving this: A bit of tomato juice with light sweet malt, light hops and fruit. Flavour’s a bit better but still not great: Mild sweet malt and floral hops along with cardboard, some vegetal notes and a light bitter finish. Light to average bodied. Wow, I’m surprised how poor this is, these guys are capable of so much more.

<b>Bottle &#40;341ml&#41;</b>. <i>Courtesy of blankboy</i>. Clear bubbly gold pour, solid creamy/foamy white head. Soft fresh cereal grain aroma - lightly herbal - a bit like a standard English golden ale. The taste is a bit like honeyed oatmeal, light dry floral bitterness. Thick mouthfeel - I felt like I was choking it down - not much carbonation, a quick finish, no alcohol profile - decent enough, it seemed a little sickly by the end of the bottle.

Slightly hazy amber brown, moderate off-white head. Butter-toffee aroma, slightly fruity. Sweet toffee malt palate, mild fruity hop character. Very easy-drinking. Nicely done, but nothing fancy.
