2.5
   AROMA 5/10   APPEARANCE 3/5   TASTE 5/10   PALATE 2/5   OVERALL 10/20
blankboy (4436) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 2, 2006
Bottle shared with HogTownHarry at Smokeless Joe . Pours a slightly hazy golden-orange with a small diminishing white head. Faint aroma of grain, grape and overly sweet malt is boring and dissapointing. Flavour is quite sweet, a little too much so even, grapey (can you say that? It tastes of grapes) and sugary along with yeast, grain and...not much else -- also dissapointing. Light bodied. I’m being quite generous with my rating as I didn’t even finish my half of the bottle.

   AROMA 4/10   APPEARANCE 3/5   TASTE 6/10   PALATE 2/5   OVERALL 11/20
HogTownHarry (4872) - Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, CANADA - SEP 30, 2006
Bottle (330ml). At Smokeless Joe, shared with blankboy. Poured gold, slightly hazy with a few suspended tiny particles, a small quick-diminishing white frothy head. Very sweet aroma, grain, malt (extract? that’s what I thought, anyway), grape skins, seems almost slightly sour wheaty on warming. Tasted - again, sweet, grape skins, grainy not-fresh malt, long odd sweet finish, just didn’t like the blend of that cheap malt and the grape. Slick, sticky body and mouthfeel, somewhat flat and uninspiring - it’s not BAD, just seems sort of cheaply made - reminded us both of a standard CDN decent macro with grapes ... too sweet!
