Pretty plain for a pale ale. Amber colour with a thin white head. Aroma is malty, with a hint of spicy hoppiness. Flavour is mostly malt with some hoppyness. Very little bitterness. Not the best pale ale but drinkable.

Bottle. Pours clear amber-copper with a small white head that diminshed mostly. Hoppy, metallic aroma. Sweet malty flavor, with bitter metallic and astringent finish. Kind of weird flavors. Light to medium body and moderate carbonation.

Pale amber colour with a thin white head. Aroma is predominantly malty, slightly soapy smelling with a hint of spicy hoppiness. Flavour is also mostly malt with some faint orange citrus. Very low bitterness. Pretty standard but not bad.

Pipers is Vancouver Island Brewery’s best selling beer by far, it’s a little better then a macro beer but still tastes semi commercial, poor but not terrible.

Golden amber, creamy head. Slight malt flavor. Nothing exiting - pretty standard pale ale.

Very average tasting pale ale. Extremely light in color. What can you say when there are very few choices to pick from?

light amber with white head. Sweet fruity nose. Tart fruity malty foretaste, lasting hop finish with some malt
