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.

Bottle trade from Jerc. Pours a clear gold with a thinner white head. Mild sweeter aroma. Crisp and relatively refreshing, and a little bit of bitterness. Not bad, but not amazing either.

cask draught. A little disappointed with this as a cask offering. I’ve had the regular draught and bottle, might add them to this score in the future. Kind of amber in colour. Slight bit of bitter fruity aroma. Taste was a mild hop with as light surprising fruit taste. Drinkable for sure. (regular draft is slightly better)

12 oz. bottle - thanks to matt7215 for this bottle; clear and dark gold; white head with minor lacing; crisp, bitter and sweet aromas; soapy and bitter fruits; sharp finish and bold for a pale ale; aroma is there and so is the flavor; a terrific APA

341ml bottle shared with Matt7215, RyanMac13, and Beerguyryan. Pours a slightly more amber colour than I was expecting, with an aroma dominated by nice hops. Taste is a little two-dimensional, moderate hops with so-so malt backbone, and a slightly unpleasant nuttiness in the aftertaste. Not bad, but not my favourite APA by far. EDIT: Having this again in the proper circumstances has shown me it is far better than I first believed. Very nice cereal grain flavour with a nice dry hop assertive quality. Great malt body to balance it out, a real OCB gem.

Tried this on tap at the 2008 Pepperwood Bistro Beer Festival. Good plain pale ale but nothing much different about it.

0.34 l bottle. Golden copper color. Malty aroma with a bit dull and grassy notes of dry hops. Very mellow malty and caramelly flavor with medium bitterness and restrained lemony-fruity hoppiness.

Bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007
Hazy blond color. Quite plain Pale Ale, with simple aroma, malt too, not too complex flavor either, but good bitterness. For beginners.

Medium hoppy aroma, notes of citrus, and slight pine. Touch of malt, btut mostly hops in the flavour. A good APA, but Mill Street Tankhouse is still your best bet for an APA in Ontario.
