341 mL bottle. Orange gold with just a film of head. Aroma is wet hay and American hops. Taste is malty sweet, with a good dose of hops. Very nice finish. Mouthfeel is a little thin and tinny. Not bad.

Nov 3, 2008 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.

Oct 15, 2008 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.

Sep 23, 2008 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.

Aug 19, 2008 341ml bottle. Clear bubbly dark golden with foamy white head that coats glass and sticks around. Decent hoppy aroma. Surprisingly tasty, dry crisp earthy pine and bread, not too bitter. Great maintenance ale for a hot summer day. Nice clean aftertaste.

Jul 20, 2008 Copper orange pour with a clingly lacey head. Spicey scent. Nice refreshing warm taste. A good bit of hops but not overpowering, some some Pale Ales. Easy to drink. Overall I am impressed by the Black Oaks I have tried.
