Commercial Description:
This is our flagship beer. Medium body, beautiful golden colour, good mouth feel and a refreshing hop finish. We use six selected malts and five different kinds of premium hops. This recipe is secret, but the Pale Ale is very tasty and hoppy.

Draught at the Bow & Arrow, Toronto, Canada on 7th June 2008. Very dry, hoppy and bitter. For UK drinkers, treat Milton Sparta as a reference beer.

Great mouth-engaging feel of rounded but bitter hops and full but not sticky malts. Grassy and citrus, bit of caramel, highly drinkable ’session pale’. Great standard fridge item that grows on you, I swear.

Pretty good. Drinkable and well balanced. I wish it was hopped a whole lot more but cest la vie. I think that’s french for kinda boring.

On tap. I can’t believe I haven’t rated this before!! App: golden with no visible carbonation and a tiny white head. Aroma: sugar and grass with hops and malt. Flavour: bitter and grassy a hint of lime and malt, not bad.

341 mL bottle. Pours a honey-gold, with a slight bubbly head. Sweet honey and malt aroma. Bitter malt and honey, with a touch of hop. Very nice oaky finish. I actually didn’t enjoy the first one I had, but as I worked through the 6-pack, this stuff tasted better and better. Great beer.

From the cask at the Beerlicious festival in Toronto. A nice fuggles hop aroma, slightly fruity. Medium rich malt flavor with pretty decent hops all around. Nice enough.

On tap at Bow. Very good pale ale. Great mouth feel. Could be a little stronger. Could use more hops and malt. Still a very good session beer.

Draught @ Only. Clear pale golden with off-white head and lacing. Caramel malts, some diacetyls, light honey, with earthy hops in background. Soft carbonation, light body. Reasonably hoppy in the aftertaste. A nice refreshing crispness and finishes well with a hint of orange.
