| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Nov 1, 2009 Brown pour with a nice frothy nitro like head. Aroma is adjunct, grain, and a slight caramel malt note. Flavor is grainy, astringent, and mildly sweet with hints of hop bittering. Palate is very thin, making the brew an easy session, but less than ideal quaff. JaBier (1219), Capital City, Ohio, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Oct 20, 2009 Can from a traveling friend. Pours clear reddish amber with a big beige head. Aroma of sweet malt and a bit of tartness. Sweet malt flavor with some crisp hops before a watery finish. mcberko (146), British Columbia, Canada

| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Oct 4, 2009 Bouteille 341ml. De couleur ambrée et claire. Nez de grains de malt pâle sucré avec des petites notes de caramel rôti, de légumes bouillis, léger de houblon herbeux (gazon et herbes mouillées) ainsi que des traces métalliques. Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-bas et une texture aqueuse et aux petites notes sirupeuses. Goût de légumes bouillis sucrés lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de grains de malt pâle sucré avec des traces de caramel rôti et de miel puis en finale l’on retrouve des notes amères de houblon assez herbeux (gazon et herbes mouillées). Post-goût court, composé d’un goût herbeux avec de petites traces métalliques. humulushound (126), British Columbia, Canada
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Sep 3, 2009 On tap at GLC in whistler. Red-amber with very little head. Aroma of caramel, light red fruits and some metallic undertones. Flavor is lightly hopped, sweet medium malt. Medium body but almost no flavor undertones, very little in the finish except sweetness. Refreshing after a day of biking but lacking as far as red and amber ales are concerned. ZTO (5), Alberta, Canada does not count | 1.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 1/5 | 4/20 | Aug 3, 2009 phew. i was seriously looking forward to finishing this beer. right from the flat nose, weak looking head, followed by its overly sweet flavour, i just care not to wait for this to warm up and discover the hidden "tastes". yet another beer that i care not to converse about its level of suck. so much malt.
but other than those points, its almost drinkable. Jordiam (70), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Aug 2, 2009 On Tap and bottle. This one is starting to get quite popular. This is probably the best Keiths I’ve had, but that’s not saying much. Pours alright, with a nice deep amber colour, but a crappy head. Smells very very faint, slightly sweet, caramelly, hint of metal. The taste is decent with a bit of a thick mouthfeel (just a bit!) with notes of metal and caramel. Not nearly balanced enough to be really enjoyable, but still fairly decent.
