Copper coloured. Slightly roasty, crystal malt flavour. Dry and drinkable.

Copper robe, malt and caramel bouquet. It's dry and short in mouth. Without being agressive, the roasted flavor from that beer is not appealing.

Brown sugar and yeast…Some caramel malt and cereal…Somewhat of a void…

Golden beer, no head. The aroma is nicely spicy. A bit of apricot and some light spiciness. There is a touch of clove and fruit. Light body, low bitterness. A pretty balanced brew.

Bottled. Apple and herbal hops aroma. Cloudy, orange/brown color, yellow head, good lace. Sweet start but soon gets bitter, a fruit bitterness like grapefruit has, fruity, herbal, medium body. Didn’t like the bitterness much.

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.

Malty, biscuity aroma, a touch phenolic but nice - almost like a scotch ale aroma. Copper coloured with white head that recedes to cover. Good carbonation. Malty, mildly spicy and yeasty flavour. Medium body with lively mouthfeel. Very drinkable though not exceptional. Bottle.
