Oct 8, 2007 A shame this isn’t made on-premises any more. Along with the IPA, this was one of Sailor Hagar’s best offerings and one of the best in BC.

Jul 10, 2007 Thick, chewy caramel, butterscotch and toffee with floral hop notes in the aroma. Clear, deep, copper coloured body is topped by a thin, dense, cream coloured head that coats the glass. Caramel malt sweetness is balanced nicely by assertive bitterness. Earthy, floral hop notes offer counterpoint. Medium body with low carbonation that feels right for the style. Sampled on tap with Oakes and CapFlu at Sailor Hagars in North Van in May 2007.

Jul 6, 2006 (650ml bottle) Purchased at the Sailor Hagar’s Off-Sale for ~$5. Quite a compliment when your former employer keeps a beer named after you - Gary Lohin must be honoured... and its a solid beer based on his recipe. Lasting almond-coloured, foam head with a deep copper body. Nose is strong and balanced of malt and hops. A robust fruitiness and well malted flavour - though its so hoppy that it would be a logical replacement for a thirsty hophead!

Jun 1, 2006 Bottle. Hazy orange amber, lowish head. Fruity strawberry, honeyish and earthy minerally notes. Mellow, welllagererd mouthfeel. Bitter dry finish. Earthy hop aftertaste.

Jul 25, 2004 Updated: Nov 23, 2004Copper coloured with a nice thick off-white head. Spicy and citrusy hop character, caramel malt, and soft carbonation. Nice. A bit hoppier than the Narwhal Pale Ale, but with many of the same characteristics. Dry-hopping is noticable and well-appreciated.
