12 oz, bb Jan 08. Clear orange-copper with a smallish, lasting head. Caramel-butterscotch with some earthy, tea leaf and slight orange marmalade aroma. Initial taste of malt is quickly balanced by bitter, nutty, earthy and roasted flavors. Turns to a crisp apple, caramel, and bitter green herb flavor on the finish. Dry, tingly, astringent and light bodied.

Pours honey colored w/ a tall, lasting head and lace. Mild aromas of leathery malts. Medium nectar w/ good carbonation. A balanced specimen w/ mild attributes. The finish is bittered nicely. A good session brew.

Bottle shared with GregClow, Hogtown Harry, Blankboy, and Jerc, courtesy of me via Big Red and K. Dark yellow, small white head. Mild aroma of caramel malt. Mild malt taste as well. Almost borders on o Canadian cream ale sort of thing - not bad, just ok.

Bottle shared with tupalev, HogTownHarry, blankboy and jerc - tupalev’s bottle. Light amber colour. Aroma is grainy, with faint hops. Flavour is pretty much the same - mild grainy malt, faint hops in the finish. Not awful, just... there.

Bottle (341ml). Shared with blankboy, GregClow and tupalev, tupalev’s bottle. Clear light amber, small head. Slightly papery aroma, light dry grainy malt, very weak hops, I guess they’re somewhat herbal. Tastes exactly as it smells - a little papery, weak malt, not much hop bitterness or alcohol or anything, really. Average body, somewhat flat ... mostly just boring; thin.
