Sep 25, 2009 500 ml bottle from a trade with jimmay. bottled august 26th 2009. pours amber with no head and little carbonation. indistinct nose of amber malt, maybe some apple there too. flavours of amber malt extract, and grainy pale malt ƒ row, 6 row?). no hops. no smoke in this one which is a good sign. not much else to say.

Jul 18, 2009 Updated: Jul 19, 2009On tap at the KW ribfest. I don’t know why its rated so low since it was the best thing they had. Taps a light amber with a white head. Aroma is faint. Floral hops (very minor), and Brit malts. Flavour is very Ontario malt driven if you know what I mean, slightly Earthy and bready, tasty but not very satisfying. Drinks really well as a light watery session ale but really isn’t remarkable in any way. Good.

Jun 14, 2009 Updated: Jul 19, 2009Fresh growler:
Pours a reddish-copper, clear with a good white rocky cap.
Aroma: toasty, toffee, fruit esters - plums,
Light mouth to this and a wee bit thin. Toffee-caarmel, some toast, nuts and some ripe fruit in the front short finish goes a bit sweet.
More sweetness than the amber ale and slightly lighter in the finish. Light, fresh and sessionable

Oct 5, 2008 Sample at C’est What - poured a clear amber. Aroma odd, and slightly off-putting. Slightly sour, a bit of plastic. I just couldn’t get into the flavour - nothing really upfront, thin bodied, too sweet, and again, an unpleasant plasticine quality at the end. Not my bag.

Oct 2, 2008 On tap @ Volo.
Smells like cola and sugar, hazy reddish/brown, small tan head. Taste is rootbeer-like, sour, cloying. Uninspired.

Sep 29, 2008 Growler sample at 2008 Golden Tap Awards. Aside from being more copper-red in colour, this beer is pretty close to their Amber in character - similar caramel, fruit and grain notes; similar mild hops; similar simple, balanced, pleasant flavour. Makes me wonder why they’re making both of them, to be honest.

Aug 28, 2008 Draught. At BeerBistro - 2008 Golden Tap Awards. Bright light copper pour, average off-white head. Sot of odd herbal/butterscotch caramel aroma, very sweet. The taste followed - very sweet, somewhat light, with a slight grassiness in the quick finish. Sticky, light body, slick and somewhat still, no real aftertaste - again with this series, just okay, this one didn’t say "homebrew" to me at least (see the Amber) but a tad lower than the blonde.
