maeib (4677), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England Apr 7, 2004 On tap - Biermarkt Toronto. Oh dear I did make bad choices here. This is to me a very poor attempt at an English ale. Very bland and also very cold. Won't be seeing this one again. beerhugger (541), Oshawa, Ontario, Canada Apr 4, 2004 Caramel and malts overtake the faint hops that might exist in this light bodied coppery beer. Thin and unobtrusive basic ale. MrManning (1634), London, Ontario, Canada Apr 3, 2004 On tap at the Winking Judge in Hamilton, Ontario. Pours a dark copper/redish body with a this, almost non-existant head. Sweet, hoppy, fragrant aromas that immediately draw you in. Taste is a little weak though. Hops, anbd some sweetness, but it is a tad watery. Overall decent in any event. piscator34 (1121), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Feb 24, 2004 A nice copper coloured ale with a good amount of carbonation. I tend to think of this one as a kind of "suped-up" Labatt 50. Well balanced hop and bready-malt flavor, and the carbonation makes it quite refreshing. Tastes quite fresh, even though it came out of a bottle. A bit watery, but still a good everyday beer. Tessic (439), Brantford, Ontario, Canada Jan 19, 2004 This beer pours a clear reddish copper and has a nice white creamy head. Scents are of caramel and malts. The initial taste consisted of sugar, caramel and medium roasted malts. The flavour finish is of a slightly sweet/bitter taste and a smooth malty palate. One of my favs from Big Rock! Boutip (2333), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Dec 14, 2003 Pourred an amber brew with a medium head. Overall, this is your middle of the road. pretty standard tradional ale. Nothing bad but nothing out of the ordinary. This is your average everyday beer but in no way can it be considered a session brew. opiate (199), Sandy, Utah, USA Dec 7, 2003 My dad brought me a bottle of this when he returned from a recent business trip.
Pretty good pick considering the fact that he doesn't drink. This is what I'd call a "salt of the earth" type of beer. A very solid beer. Very little to complain about. I mean...it's got a great balance of malt and hops. It's a pretty beer. Very clean tasting. Sure...it doesn't have all the "bells and whistles" of some Belgian beers or Imperial Stouts. But this is a solid beer. This is my definition of a terrific "every day" beer! bjbrown24 (61), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA Nov 19, 2003 Recently had this in Edmonton. Not a whole lot to this beer. Tastes more like bud light than anything else.
