tap at Big Rock in Seoul - Pours amber with a mild caramel malt aroma. It tastes light, sweet, and creamy. It’s a little water. This beer is smooth and easy drinking with some flavor that at least puts it well above your typical macro suds.

Pours a reddish-coppery colour with a tiny white head that runs to the walls very quickly. Very translucent for a brown ale. Aroma is of malt, a hint of something metallic, and sourness. Taste is of brown sugar, sour fruits and a slight nuttyness on the end. It’s sweet, sour and bitter. Lacks comcentration, not a good example of a brown ale.

Purchased in Ganges BC in a 12 oz can. Amber color, not very distinctive. So-so, really. Agree that there’s not much ’there’ there.

<i>Draught at Ship and Anchor, Calgary</i><br />Light amber color. Light and dry caramel flavor. Correctly bitter. Too simple and boring.

I can’t believe i haven’t rated this before! i used to drink on a semi regular basis. Its a pretty middle of the road, maybe even sub par brown ale. Wattery, and thin like most fo the Big Rock beers, some slight malt notes, and a touch of roast, but meh, pretty boring.
