Wellington County version. 650 ml bottle. Deep amber colour, light haze. Thin white lace. Aroma of caramel/toffee. That unmistakable Canadian industrial malt backbone that I really dislike. Husky and grainy. Flavour is similar, sweet caramel, dirty sweet malts. However, nice sweet orange hop flavour behind all the cheap malts. Spicy and woody golding flavour and lingering orange hop flavour in the finish. The hops really save this beer from being bad, but with better malt development this could have been a really good brew, as it stands it’s just an adequate one.

poured like an 86% frothy head, sweet aroma orangish brown colour. Has a very sweet taste followed by what I have to describe as a bitter apple sorta taste.

Coppery color, small tan head... a bit of hops and malt in the nose, and in taste. A decent brew, worthy of trying at least once.
