I didn’t even realize I had never rated this beer. Had on draft. Poured an amber color with a caramel malt aroma. Nice malty flavor with a very mild bitter finish.

Draught. This is an amber colour with a small white head and very little carbonation. The aroma is a bit fruity with some caramel malt then hints of cherry. Flavour has a strong malt profile with more caramel, some brown bread, honey and water. The bitter finish is very light.

12 oz bottle. Poured a clear amber color with a two finger off white head. The aroma was caramel and earthy notes. The flavor was very malty, with a faint bitter finish.

Light copper color with a medium head. Slightly malty smell with some caramel in the aroma. Taste is mellow with malts but not much hops.

very bland and average... it was a decent pale ale but nothing fancy to remember - copper color with light head, hoppy fruity, little aftertaste

(Bottle). Clear amber with a small head. Aroma of sweet malt and mildly hoppy. It reaches many notes, like caramel, apples, honey, grass and herbs. Mostly fruity and malty flavor, there is also caramel, honey, and a bit of hops. Bitterness is between light and medium. Nice medium body and dry finish. Good!

Bottle. Average beige like creamy head that mostly lasted. Fair display of lacework. Pale amber color. Aroma of light peach, hint of liquorish, floral, light nutty and caramel as well. Light bodied with an average carbonation and light dry texture. Light bitter and sweet flavor in balance. Light dry and bitter fruity finish.

Light brown colour with a good off-white head. The aroma is sweet, spicy and malty. The flavour is sweet, malty and nutty. Quite light taste, smooth and some bitterness in the finish. Nothing special.
