Feb 2, 2006 Draught. At Charlotte Room. Oh God, another "red." Poured deep clear copper with a small quickly gone white head. Sweet light roast aroma with grain - average, not nasty. Taste is sweet, grainy no hops to speak of, slightly vegetal and metallic - again, nothing awful. Mouthfeel flat and sticky - better than other recent UC’s but pretty bleh overall - pint went down with no real complaints, but my choice was sadly limited.

Aug 6, 2005 Medium amber body with a moderate off white head. Muted aroma of malt. Flavour is sweetish caramel malt with moderate bitterness and a slight hoppy tang in the finish. Average palate. Meh. Quaffable but their dark is a better choice.

Apr 2, 2006 (Draught) Sampled on tap at the Arrow & Loon in Ottawa, April 2, 2006. Nose of under-cooked baguette and roasty malt. Flavour is slightly tinny à la Sleeman with a malted red pepper burrito to finish. Dark reddish amber and lofty almond foam. Average.

Jul 7, 2005 On tap at The Duke of Gloucester. This was so shit I didn’t even bother taking notes. Just complete garbage, how much lower can Upper Canada sink? Even worse than Rickard’s and Mick’s Red. Was barely able to drink it it was so bad. I got a Creemore after it and it was like I followed a Molson Kick with a Rochefort. You’ve been warned, drink at your own risk.

Jun 4, 2005 Tap at Mitzi’s Sister. Amber-mahogany colour with a thin reddish-mocha head. Nice aroma, fresh & fruity malt with a hint of grassy hops. Good mouthfeel. Flavour is pleasant and well balanced, with more of the fruity malt found in the aroma. Finish is a little weak, but all in all, I found this to be quite a bit better than I expected based on my past experience with mainstream red ales like Rickard’s and Micks.

Mar 28, 2006 Tap at Under the VOlcano in London, Ont- Deep amber body with a good size beige froth. Malty aromas mixed with bread and some grains. Taste is sweet malts with a solid hop bite to round it out. Bread crust too. Slightly grainy on the finish, with a good sweet malt aftertaste. Medium body with good carbonation. Better than expected.

Mar 19, 2007 nice red body, fruity aroma. very small head, ok, i’m, scpetical, the head dissepeared in about 10 seconds. Flavour falls flat on its face, lifeless, and wattered down.
