Pours a reddish amber color with a light bubbly head that is thin and diminishes quickly. Aroma is very sweet caramel, some nuttieness. Flavor is like drink liquid walnuts, the only thing your missing is some of that nut skin that flakes off in your mouth but your mouth even feels somewhat dry, as if it were there. I give them credit that the beer did have a lot of flavor, walnut, but overall its a beer I would have pretty infrequently (if available to me).

20oz Pint of Draft, The Slice Bar, Lethbridge AB. Great chestnut brown color. Floral aroma with a hint of caramel. Flavor is deep and rich. Flavor is caramel, rosted malts, and a very smooth hopy finish.This is one of my favorite beers. It is best on tap. Once you have had Trad on tap, drinking it from the bottle or can is pretty disapointing.

Pours out of the bottle a reddish-copper colour with a very small off white head. Smells of caramel, apples and spice. Tastes of caramel, apples, a touch of spice, and that’s about it. Watery feel, pleasant but nothing great.

Bottle. Some Malt, caramel. Maybe a little thin. Unremarkable amber ale, but nothing offensive by any means, so pretty good.

A basic amber type ale. Moderately drinkable. Not one that I would go out of my way for.

Bottle: Amber. Aromas of sweet malt. Fruity with a toasty likeness...a hint of grapefruit and raisin. Watery; just a trifle dry. Unimaginative .

Draft in Waterton Lakes: Deep copper-amber hue with a decent head. Lively carbonation; smooth, easy-to-drink palate. Lightly roasted and toasted and grainy. Light bitterness and hint of sourness. Faint sweetness (toffee). Herbal bitterness. Like a Fat Tire Lite.

Canette de 355 ml. Nos yeux observent une bière de couleur cuivrée-rousse avec une mousse beige qui couvre la surface du début jusqu’à la fin. Notre nez respire des arômes de caramel et de noisettes grillées en premier nez et de sucre d’orge en deuxième nez. Notre palais rencontre un corps moyen avec une effervescence moyenne. Nos papilles gustatives goutent des saveurs maltées de caramel, de sucre brun, de noisettes rôties avec une très légère amertume. La finale est sucrée et légèrement torréfiée. Surpris . Merci Rémy
