Jan 15, 2002 Reddish brown. A clean bitter, medium bodied American style pale ale. Crystal malt flavour, otherwise very clean. Perhaps too clean to really be something extra.

Bright amber colour. Tasty, yeasty aroma with amber malts. Very toasty (mainly a yeast byproduct in this case). Light bitterness with woody hop notes.

Apr 16, 2004 Clear amber body topped by small-medium off-white head. Aroma is sweet, earthy, some spice, caramel, berry, mild herbal. Taste is smooth herbal/grapefruit/earthy complemented by mild sweetness. Medium body. Simple but tasty.

Jun 7, 2005 660 ml bottle (Ontario version) shared with tiggmtl at his place after Day 1 of the Mondial. Love the label illustration, but it won’t save this beer. Clear copper-caramel, filtered, with a decent little white head...creamy orange-vanilla in the nose, fresh and clean but rather weak...fruity body derailed by carboardy mouthfeel...dryly bitter towards the finish, body reasonably full. Not awful, but Jeez I expected more with that solemn brute on the label.

Jun 6, 2004 NABA ’04: Copper pale color, decent head & lacing. The aroma is a bit hoppy with some focus on the caramel. Taste is a bit bitter, unbalanced, dry.
