Beer Snob (378), Ontario, Canada Mar 26, 2007 My first reaction was a semi-surprised "oh! I like this."
But the aftertaste is metallic and there’s a clotying sweetness that mars the overall impression. Still, a nice looking and smelling ale with a very nice semi/sweet fruitiness to it.
Not bad... MrManning (1634), London, Ontario, Canada Mar 11, 2007 Another above average beer from this brewer. Pours coppery red with a good foamy beige head. Bready, caramel, slightly burnt malty and spicy aroma. There’s a sweet burnt malt, treacle type flavour, sugars, and an odd yeasty funk I am not sure is supposed to be here, but here it is. Well made though, and good for a cream ale. mabel (2530), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Feb 28, 2007 [206-20070215] 473mL. Doughy yeasty under-baked bread aroma with grassy earth undertones and a hint of animal qualities. Clear, brown red body with fast-rising small bubbles and a medium-lasting light tan foamy head. Flavour continues under-bakedness of bread, less grassy and more lemon in the aftertaste. Medium body with both a smooth and sour pucker feel. Comes together but it’s an odd combination. Lubiere (4462), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Feb 22, 2007 Can from LCBO. A hazy reddish amber alw with a thick big bbuled light moka head. A light berry aroma with light caramel. In mouth, a sourish beer, with astringent medical notes. Light nuttyness and butter in finish. Infected...surprising since this is canned. Oh well. Drain pour. JohnBarleycorn (390), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jan 28, 2007 Pleasing red/chestnut-coloured appearance. Reserved aromas of malt, berry and rum. Smooth, creamy palate could use a little more umph. Nice, fruity flavour evolves quite pleasantly, swelling towards the middle with a sensation of strawberries and cream. A nice beer, and would be even better if it wasn’t so suburban and reserved. Boutip (2330), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Jan 8, 2007 Can: Poured a medium amber color ale with a great white bubbly head with average retention. Aroma of light malt with some hints of sweetness. Taste is also comprised of semi-sweet malt with no hops discernable. Body is lightly creamy but overall this beer is really lacking in character. mds (2112), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jan 6, 2007 Can. Pours a dark copper body with a medium-sized creamy white head. Caramel and bread are predominant in the aroma. Sour fruit composition with strange spice and bread malts. Finishes with more of that sour fruit. Not that I was expecting more from a cream ale but I was sort of expecting something different than this. Mediocre. VeloVampire (483), Parkdale, Toronto, Ontario, Canada Dec 18, 2006 Updated: Dec 28, 2006473 ml can - pours a deep bronze with a two-finger, fast-diminshing off-white head. Aroma both sweet malts and a strange sourness, almost like sour grapes. Odd. Flavour kind of grape-y as well, with some sweet malts in the background and a quick dry finish. Kind of tastes like drinking a very light red wine that is carbonated and has gone off. I ended up dumping the last third. Not something I would get again. There are far superior Ontario beers for anyone to waste their time on this one.
