| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Jul 1, 2007 On tap at the brewpub. Pale yellow colour. Difficult to get a real good impression from the tiny taster provided - no sampler trays at this brewpub (with only three beers available there wouldn’t be much point anyway) and I sure wasn’t going to have a whole pint. Clean enough but lacking in flavour and body. But that’s pretty much the style I suppose. Inoffensive but uninspiring stuff. Not sure I could have distinguished this from the Lumberjack Lager in a blind tasting.

| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Oct 1, 2006 Pour of pale golden, clearish, with a frothy white head and little visible carbonation. Aroma of wickingly sweet off-malt, with stinky corn sugars. Flavor was similiar with some bizarre artifical flavor of some sort, with peach pits, candied bananas and tangy bubblegum. Not real pleasing, but not too gross. Whatever. Light and kind of drinkable. Blah. Carbonation was a distant percolation. Not really there either. Ugh.
