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!
hobbersr (53), Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada Oct 26, 2008 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. AWS9 (137), Mississauga, Ontario, Canada Oct 24, 2008 Bottle. Some Malt, caramel. Maybe a little thin. Unremarkable amber ale, but nothing offensive by any means, so pretty good. mbgrayson (60), Anaconda, Montana, USA Oct 22, 2008 A basic amber type ale. Moderately drinkable. Not one that I would go out of my way for. ILduce (105), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Sep 7, 2008 Bottle: Amber. Aromas of sweet malt. Fruity with a toasty likeness...a hint of grapefruit and raisin. Watery; just a trifle dry. Unimaginative . Aubrey (2625), Denver, Colorado, USA Aug 29, 2008 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.
