Rcr84 (33), Canada Jul 4, 2007 Great pale ale. Very well hopped. Nice to find a beer like this on the market, if only more people would try this over a pathetic beer like Keiths.
KyotoLefty (306), Kyoto, Japan 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. AmicusBeer (18), Toronto, Ontario, Canada 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. Beershine (1515), Miami Beach, Florida, USA 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. Imperial-John (113), Mississauga, Ontario, Canada 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. gilvanblight (360), Windsor, Ontario, Canada 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.
