On tap at the Sheraton Centre lobby bar in Toronto. Pours a reddish dark brown with a standard white head of thinning volume. At first, the flavor is fairly interesting with its rich roasted notes, but unfortunately it is just too watery for my likes. Certainly not as bad as the woeful Creemore Springs claptrap that was also on tap at this ridiculously overpriced hotel bar.

Deep amber in colour, small off-white coloured head, some lacing. Aroma is lightly sweet, some caramel, grains and cereal. The flavour is very sweet and grains, some metal. Sweet mouthfeel, light body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes watery, thin and very sweet.

Very boring but I wasn’t expecting much. I’m still kicking myself for buying this. It has to be better then their "IPA" doesn’t it? Nope, it doesn’t.

473ml can from the LCBO in Peterborough, Ontario.
Opened on December 16, 2007.
Best before date not readable.

Terrible beer. The "IPA" is much better. This beer tastes very much plain. Hints of caramel, nuttiness, and toffee. Nice appearance though.
