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!

Recently had this in Edmonton. Not a whole lot to this beer. Tastes more like bud light than anything else.

No discernable hops, very mild and unoffensive. A good session ale, but that's about it.

Decent and and average appearance, but this one goes down easy andhas just enough flavour to make you enjoy it. A good beer that I would purchase again.

Medium amber clear with a small white head. Aroma is slightly stale malt and hops reminiscent of many a typical english ale. Medium to soft body. Uncomplicated yet reasonably well balanced malt and bitter flavours. Mild to bland, slightly more bitter, less sweet finish.

TFOB. Dark amber colour, little head slightly sweet and malty. Could use a good amount of more hops.

Tasted at TFOB. Weak tasting ale. Low bitterness level, but even so, little or no malt balance.
