DougShoemaker (2619), Toronto, Canada Jun 15, 2002 On tap,very hoppy aroma, orange colour. Great bitterness. Wonderful draught! argo0 (6284), Washington DC, USA Jul 22, 2002 Nice body, golden with little head. Fruity malty spicy aroma. Spicy and sweet flavor. Good beer. jerc (3268), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jul 10, 2003 Nice head, and appearance. Nicely hopped. I am not a lager fan but this is enjoyable. Still prefer the Black Oak Pale Ale though! :) Schroppfy (1741), Ohio, USA Jul 22, 2002 Quite spicy - medium to full bodied. A bit soapy/slippery, but in a good way. Perfect color. JohnBarleycorn (384), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Dec 8, 2003 A shade darker than your typical mass-produced swill, and exactly what you’d expect (and hope) from a North American micro lager. Smelling the beer conjures up thoughts of fresh baguettes and hot buttered toast smothered in honey, while the mind eggs the glass away from the nose and down to the lips. The flavours are quite restrained, and continue in the bready vein the nose hinted at. Perfect balance between sweetness and bitterness makes this quite a thirst-quencher. If you are trying to encourage a friend to give up corporate beers and work up the courage to try a micro, this one’s a great, inoffensive starting point
