MartinT (5030), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Nov 30, 2003 Incessant sweet cherry malts ride an indignant caramel syrup...A fruity sketch fetches a watery wretch...Carpe Diem as an unknown concept... tiggmtl (4307), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Oct 26, 2003 Strong sweet malt aroma. Clear copper colour with anemic fully diminishing head. Mild toastiness and sweet malt flavour with a some bitterness to offset. Medium thin body. Loses carbonation quickly. Drinkable but not inspiring. Bottle. wnp22 (682), Toronto (Roncesvalles Village), Ontario, Canada Sep 6, 2003 Tasted in Toronto from the LCBO - bottle 650ml. Deep brown / red colour, foamy white head. Sweet and slightly citrus/spice like aroma. Taste of roasted sweet caramel with a subtle buttery after finish. jerc (3861), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jul 10, 2003 Updated: Jun 2, 2004Re-rate - Little head, reddish brown body. Needs more malt, and more of the traditional Irish Red flavours. Left the numbers the same.

Reminds me a lot of something else, but I am not sure what.. A hint of the roasty taste of Murphy's disappears after you swallow it...Better than I expected (I was told it was like Kilkenny, which its not... I dont think.) daboskabouter (1470), Fergus, Ontario, Canada Mar 25, 2003 Dark bright copper. Fruity with a touch of hops in the nose. Body is lightly fruity and a bit oily, the hops come in towards the middle but the finish is a bit sweet. Not sure what an irish ale is exactly, but it sure ain't that good. Radek Kliber (3926), Toronto (Can) Krotoszyn (Pol), Ontario, Canada Mar 20, 2003 Clear amber, small head .Medium body . Fruity , aromatic ale , quiet sweet . joeycapps (1466), Waterdown, Ontario, Canada Mar 20, 2003 Brown/red w/ slight tan head. Toasted malt nose. Thinnish body. Toasted malt flavour w/ some nutty notes & decent bitterness. Cartoonkhaki (1149), Brantford, Ontario, Canada Mar 4, 2003 Nice rosted malts in the aroma. Somewhat vinegary. Dark reddish amber. Frothy white head. Nice and enjoyable.
