<i>2008-07-30, draught at The Railway Club, Vancouver, 4-3-5-2-8=22</i><br />Brown color. Light aroma, not interesting, almost cardboard. Caramel flavor, no Cream here... Boring.<br /><br /><i>2008-07-16, draught at Steamworks (?), 5-3-5-2-10=25</i><br />Nice light brown color. Light aroma of Asian kitchen (?). It has just a plain favor, caramel and roasted malt, dry mouthfeel, dirty water? No interest.

Bright copper-red, moderate eggshell head. Sweet caramel aroma, mild earthy dried-leaf hop aroma. Sweet caramel, mildly roasted (toasty) flavour, a little nutty, and the same mild earthy hop finish. Nicely balanced with a really nice flavour to the malts here. A pleasant surprise really.

<b>Bottle (22oz)</b>. <i>Shared by blankboy with GregClow, jerc and tupalev</i>. Clear ruby-amber pour with an average off-white head. Odd but interesting aroma, floral hops and sweet caramel malt; bordered on perfumey. Very light taste indeed, sweet, only a hint of alcohol, quite floral in the finish. But the mouthfeel is watery, wan and pretty much not there - a little earthiness perhaps, but unbelievably dull overall.

Bottle shared with tupalev, blankboy, HogTownHarry & jerc - blankboy’s bottle. Mahogany colour with a small head. Aroma is malty, a bit sweet, not bad. Medium bodied. Flavour is mellow and balanced, with earthy malt and mild tea-like hops. Pleasant stuff.

bottle. Dark chestnut, creamy brown head. Nutty, sugar aroma. Medium body. Light nut, hop balance overall somewhat bland. Caramel retronasal.
