| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jul 3, 2007 Sample from 500 ml bottle at the Mondial, Montreal (May 2007). Dirty amber in color with little head or lacing....solidly juicy, hoppy aroma, mostly dry woody Englishy-cidery sorts of scents but there’s a bit of west coast citrus, too....thin and watery alas on the tongue, though there’s some reasonable bitterness, a bit of caramel and dry wood....dull, lightly salty, syrupy finish...another ho-hum effort from another ho-hum QC micro.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 16, 2007 Bouteille. De couleur ambrée rouge et voilée. Nez de levures fruitées (agrumes, pommes rouges, petites notes de pêche) et épicées (coriandre, léger de clou de girofle, notes de poivre et traces de cannelle), malté de caramel doux (notes de sucre bonbon) et léger de houblon floral. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen mais croustillant ainsi qu’une texture très légèrement crémeuse. Goût de levures fruitées (agrumes – lime, pommes, faibles notes de poires) avec un moyen goût épicé (coriandre, léger clou de girofle) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté de caramel doux et des notes de pain puis une finale moyen-léger amère de houblon herbeux et de levures épicées (légèrement poivrées). Post-goût moyen et un peu sec, moyen-léger amer de houblon herbeux, léger de levures et fruité (zest d’agrumes, léger de pelures de pommes). beanmedic (324), Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 26, 2007 Drank in a tulip glass. Dark caramel amber poor with a nice sticky off white head. Very malty aromas, spicy, apples, caramel and slightly alcohol... Full bodied, thick and frothy mouthfeel. Very malty taste again with a spicy peppery twist to it. Nicely carbonated not to many flavors, perfect balance of bitterness and mouthfeel. Very basic yet complicated amber ale. Radek Kliber (3948), Toronto (Can) Krotoszyn (Pol), Ontario, Canada

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 6, 2006 Bottle. Pours a hazy dark orange body with a small white frothy head. The aroma has dusty apples and spice. Flavour is quite yeasty and sharply bitter with plenty of fruity pear and oranges. Refreshing.
