650ml bottle, from the Rideau LCBO. ------- Pour copper amber, white/beige head. No carbonation apparent. Lace remains quite a while, but disappeared roughly past midway (that’s somewhere between 5 and 10 minutes) ------ orange and spruce aroma. ------- Med body, not much else aside from bitterness. ------- Average carbonation. Somewhat thin. A bit poor, as far as the palate is concerned. Slight dough taste. I felt oranges on the lips, but not much else. Feels a bit dry in the end. ------- I could have done much worst than this one - considering it was a totally random pick from the LCBO. I’m not a fan of American Pale Ales, and this one won’t change anything about that. For fans of the genre - that’s it.

650ml bottle, copper-amber color, with a pillowy beige head, mild toasted, pale malt nose with a hint of floral hopo peachy fruitiness, and a light cookie dough note in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a mild soft sweet flowery hop citrusy, grassy, toasted, caramelized, biscuity malt character with a faint leafy minty accent and hints of pineyness, leading towards a faint malty, fruity peachy, lingering hop leafy bitterness finish.

My bottle [650ml] shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus. Pours a cloudy copper-gold with an average size diminishing bubbly white head. Aroma is fine, for Trafalgar: Light grassy hops with some fruit and sweet caramel malt. Somewhat watery flavour of caramel malt, grain and light hops and an average bitter finish. Average bodied. You know, for a Trafalgar beer this isn’t bad. For a Trafalgar beer.

22oz bottle from LCBO. Pours a murky amber (unfiltered). Aroma is slightly hoppy with raisins and an odd malt aroma that’s hard to identify. Taste is a big old hit of hoppy dish soap...ack! Really, it’s like a pale ale mixed with Sunlight. The finish, while hard to determine with the soap residue still lingering, seems to be slightly bitter and bracing. What the hell is wrong with Trafalgar and why the hell do they seem to get a beer on EVERY LCBO seasonal list? This is really inferior...I’ve had better extract homebrew.

bottle. Poured a hazy orange colour with a big thick beige head. The aroma of oranges and oddly perfumey. Pungent flavour and mouthfeel. Awfully bitter. Woody, grapefruit citrus peel, sour flavour. I had two of these and couldn’t finish either of them. The dates were good on both. Nope, I don’t like it.
