Oakes (8057), gone rambling, Vietnam Oct 3, 2008 Reddish colour. Caramelly, earthy nose with a light blackberry fruitiness. Soft, clean, lightly caramelly palate is lightly fruity. Lubiere (4464), 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. Sammy (3934), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Nov 14, 2006 On-tap at West 50 Pourhouse. Red with lace. Sourish,lightish body. I was expecting a malty beer. Unfinishable. Radek Kliber (3926), Toronto (Can) Krotoszyn (Pol), Ontario, Canada Aug 21, 2006 Bottle. Amber ale with small ring on top, middle fizz. Aroma accented with light sugar candy and fruits. Thin front (body), strange flavours in the middle, malts, spice. I am not sure if this ale was planned to be like that. Poor. HogTownHarry (3922), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada Aug 19, 2006 Updated: Aug 20, 2006Bottle (341ml). At BeerBistro, 2006 Golden Tap Awards. Interesting colour - bright clear apricot, pretty much no head. Sour grainy aroma, ugh, really put me off. Taste was sour malt, wispy stale dry dead grass hops, and nasty green persimmon sourness in the finish. Weak body, acidic, nasty aftertaste - ugh, no thanks, tally up my vote as "no" jerc (3861), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jul 15, 2006 Amber brown, cream coloured head. Sweet candy honey aroma, bit of a strange note to it. Pleasant bitterness is a touch astringent and has a bit of the same strange character as the aroma. Light candy sweet orange and very astringent lemon. Average palate. Tough to tell if this is a bit off (I only got it a few weeks ago at the brewery) or it was just never in very good shape. Disappointing. blankboy (3165), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Sep 18, 2007 Can. Fourth beer of the night for my own Swill (or almost swill) Fest. Pours a hazy orange-amber with a small diminishing off-white head. Mild aroma of sour apples, grain, sweet malt and...meh, I don’t know -- too sour and crappy. Flavour is also sour and grainy, almost astringent and harsh, along with some sugary sweetness. Light to average bodied. Man, this just isn’t good, I would think this is off but I just got this can a week ago. A typical awful Canadian Cream Ale. DougShoemaker (2855), Toronto, Canada Aug 30, 2006 Sweet malt nose, amber, tiny head, some fruity flavours, very sweet malt. Thin, too sweet to drink much of. Poor.
