Pours a clear amber-brown with a fantastic head and thick, lasting lacing. Aroma is vaguely malty. Tastes chalky & dry, stale malt but nicely balanced hopping. Body is good and carb is decent, wonderful creamy mouthfeel. Don’t get me wrong, this beer is very drinkable, but they need to get rid of that lagery corn taste. Very tell-tale macro. Kudos on decent hopping, though.

Mar 18, 2010 LCBO acquisition. Pours copper body with some white foamy head that sticks to the glass on the way down. Pleasant mild hoppy aroma. The mouthfeel is a little below average, but it is also very easy drinking. A serviceable ESB. Sourish at the sediment of the bottle.

Mar 10, 2010 With the exception of the hint of smokiness somewhere in the taste, this is about as watery and bland as an ale gets. Why this has been rated so high is beyond me. I had this back-to-back with Ruddles County (which has a much lower rating within the same style) and the St. Andrews does not get up to its knees. I mean, there is no nose at all, and I do mean NO nose. Moreover, its virtually tasteless. Come on people, re-rate and get a grip. This is bad.

Feb 27, 2010 Bottle 500ml. Pours a copper-golden color with a big fluffy white head. Leaves nice lacing, too. Rather low carbonation. Medium body. Aroma of caramel, some fruits, a little hops but mainly very malty. A little sweet and spicy aftertaste. Very smooth and drinkable. Would try it again.
