Noted for the smooth and mellow balance between malt and hops, its dark copper color flashes garnet when held to the light.

Fair, but no English style here. I think the label’s bark is worse than its flair. But give it a shot. Hostel bar, Vancouver.

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.
