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.

dirkules (627) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 7, 2004
Sweet with a bready bakers yest aroma to it, golden with a medium sized head. Some hop taste to the smooth finish, floral accents a tad bitter. Not bad at all! Another good product from black oak.

Crockett (916) - Steelback County, Ontario, CANADA - SEP 9, 2004
Pours deep gold with a quick disipating off white head. Medium grass hop, fruit toasted aroma. Nicely bitter but not as hoppy as some of the better examples of the style. Toffee, some sweet earthy pine flavours with good balance. Crisp bitter finish.

obisbeer (558) - Barcelona, SPAIN - SEP 1, 2004
Nice golden color with fine white head. Nice peach hop aroma, with light pine. Medium to light mouthfeel with short finish. Light flavors of hops, and a faint nuttiness. Not bad session beer!

pintbypint (1481) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - AUG 20, 2004
Sampled from keg at Phog Lounge, Windsor Ontario. Poured golden and clear, thin clingy head. Hoppy aroma, firm maltiness with abundant bitterness throughout. The best Canadian Pale Ale I've come across.

On Cask @ the TO beer festival. This was the TO hop bomb version and iwas gooood. Hazy yellow colour with no head. The mouthfeel was lively even w/o carbonation. Great aroma and taste of white grapefruit and pine.

UPDATED: JUL 7, 2007 Pale with floral citrus aroma, very well hopped grapefruity with good bitterness. Malt sweetness ameliorating bitterness Thanks for the fresh samples right off the line, Jercraigs.

Cask at the Toronto Beer Festival 2004. So this was a special beer, they added lots more hops to it and it shows! It wasn’t overkill though, as it was quite well balanced with some nice malts. A solid APA from the solid Black Oak Brewery.
