Bottle pours clear golden/copper with thin white head. Aroma is malt and hops. First taste is sweet malt then slight hops bitterness. Really well balanced. Watered down a little which makes for a clean finish. Verry underated pale ale.

500 ml can from the LCBO. pour clear orange with a nice tan head. very good pale ale apperance. aromas are pale malts but very subdued. flavours are nicely balanced between caramel malts and hops. solid structure to this brew. very sessionable. the flavours is always present but isnt big in any way. a fine drop id have anytime.

The beer pours a light amber with a thick white head. The nose is light; mixed of fruity and dry spice. The pallet is watery. The taste is light with malts some hops and light spice. I very underwhelming beer.

A nice amber colow with a finger or two of white head. Very floral hoppy smell. The hops hit the tongue to up front, but the malts balance it out nicely. The beer left my mouth a little dry. Definately a solid ale, I’d love to drink a few of these in a sitting. Serving type: bottle

Someday, I’d like to try on tap in England. In a bottle in the states, it’s fair, but doesn’t match the many of the craft beer here at home.

I have had this on tap in a bottle. I have had it in the US, Italy and Ireland it was delicious everywhere I went. It makes for a great bottom of a Black & Tan.

yarry (451) - Waterdown, Ontario, CANADA - JUN 24, 2008
500ml can, 5.1% a/v Pours a fiery orange color with a middling offwhite head. Aroma is a nice medium roast malt with a bit of metal from the can and fruity notes to back. The taste is fairly malty, not really hoppy at all. Good for a pale ale, though a bit more hops wouldnt hurt
