Pretty crappy taste. I like brown ales done well, but this one was not. Had a 12 on a fishing trip in canada, and was not too impressed. Sleeman’s is a better, though less interesting choice.

Not even close to what I expect from a cream ale. Not even close. Cat Fish Cream ale beats this crass cream ale by far. Natural, as in raw, coarse, untouched and I would not touch it again, maybe if I was dying of thirst. A beer drinker, tough to please.

Can, pours a light copper. Aroma of caramel, malt and wheat. Flavour is much the same - pretty standard beer. Drinkable.

341ml bottle. Pours the colour of iced tea with very little head that quickly dissipates to an oily slick. Basically no aroma, very faint sweet malt. Very little taste faint toffee, brown sugar and caramel, maybe a little bitterness. Palate was a little watery. Overall, it manages to be beer, but that’s all.

Clear light orange. Standard smell. A little musty. Very smooth with little taste. Smooth nonetheless, there’s just nothing to it.

Bottle. Pours a pretty average amber, with a foamy head and next to no lacing. Nose is butterscotch, malt, and little else. Palate shows some crystal malt, but very little else. Hollow, disappointing, and a shameful effort from what used to be a pretty decent brwery. Why must you hurt me so BigRock? I loved you so well. Your Maibock (for the whole 3 years you made it) introduced me to microbrewed beer, and I have watched your downward spiral ever since. Sigh... You really can’t ever go home again.

Nothing there and a wee bit of something nasty. Thin. Are there macro adjuncts here?

pours an iced tea color with a greyish head. aroma is some chocolate and lemon. taste is not good, a bit wheaty with some peanut flavor and some chocolate in the finish. lemon is there also. the tastes don’t mesh and leave an altogether unpleasant mouthfeel to go with a chalky caramel that is bad. i feel lucky it was an 11.5 oz bottle, the less i have to drink of this the better.

Nasty smell and taste to go with it. Pretty weak, so it goes down easy.

Wow. No discernable flavor or character. Smells ungood, though not spoilt. What a terrible mistake.
