3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Caramel, fruit, and pine in the aroma. Flavor starts bready, then finishes with some grassy, pine hops. This tastes halfway between an ESB and an IPA, but it’s really good.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
22oz bottle in an English pint. Pours amber with a lacy, off-white head. Aroma of pale and a little bit of dark malts and a decent amount of floral hops. Flavor the same. Average texture. Better than I was expecting.

3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours brown with minimal cream head and some lace. Aroma is mild malts and nutty. Taste sweet malts, hops come through strong, nice bitterness. Light body with a tingling bitter finish
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bière d’une belle couleur cuivrée avec un beau col mousseux.
Au nez, y’a pas beaucoup de stimulation. En s’efforçant d’y trouver quelques odeurs que ce soit, on parvient à sentir des effluves de malt caramélisés. En bouche, c’est beaucoup plus intéressant. Plus amer que certaines ESB, le houblon fait sentir sa présence avec de belles pointes herbeuses.

Sample at the brewery. Definitely the pick of the litter in a reasonably strong group. Dark brown colour with a decent tan head and foamy lacing for such a little plastic cup. Aroma is hops and some sweet malts. Taste is bitter, but not overwhelmingly so, with some good hop flavour and a hint of grapefruit. Crisp, medium body. Overall, this fits nicely with the Atlantic Canadian bitters just over the border and if it weren’t for that damn limit on alcohol I’d have happily brought a few back.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Reddish brown, hoppy, dry, bitter. Very nice. Subtle. Delicious. It has a nice, quiet linger.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Draft at the brewery. Dark brown with just an initial sudsy head that died immediately. Nutty, woodsy and drinkable, it has just a mellow bite in the finish. (#4214, 8/21/2011)
