2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draught at the brewpub
Amber-copper color, with creamy head. Light aroma of caramel and just a trace of sweaty hop. Dry mouthfeel, simple caramel flavor, ordinary bitterness with no hop quality. Boring.

2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
UPDATED: AUG 22, 2010 Draught @ Milestone’s in the Vancouver airport. I confirmed with the bartender that this beer is made in B.C, so I’m assuming this is the brew. Light copper, generous white head. Grainy aroma with a hint of hops. Interestingly, that hint vanishes on the palate, which is sweet and grainy with a hint of toast.

(Draught) Sampled at the Great Canadian Beer Festival 2008 in Victoria, September 2008. Butterscotch. Blah! Very poor. 3/2/2/1/1

This is made for fans of Okanagan Springs Pale Ale and is plain in the same way. A light brown with bitterness begging to be augmented by some dry hopping.

From a can sent by Oakes!
Pours medium amber with a thin head of white that falls immediately.
Nutty caramel aroma, little to no hop aroma.
The flavor is lightly sweet lacking any hop character, but the palate is a bigger detractor than the lack of flavors. Chalky, some cardboard with a bit of astringency in the finish. Needs more hops.

Tap at GCBF. I’ve now officially passed into drunkenness. Golden colour with a thin white head. Light grassy and resiny hop aroma. A bit of strange toasted corn flavour in here, some smokiness and light caramel malt. Strange brew.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Copper colour. Light fuggle & caramel aroma. Flavour is more assertive, fuggley, with a light toasty note.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Nice hoppy aroma from this golden coloured ale with minimal head. Flavour is nicely balaqnced between hops and the munich malts. Finish is a nice bitter completion to a good beer. Only complaint is that it was a little to thin for my liking.
