Golden colour with a bit of brown. Off white head. Thick aroma of malts and a little hop. Flavour is weaker then the aroma... a bit of sourness and some hops. Decent body,

I tried this beer on July 26, 2008 after pirchgasing from one of my local LCBO outlets. The beer poured a beautiful translucent red with a 1" off-white head that lingered a while. The aroma was sweet malt, and a definite hoppy sense. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, amply carbonated, and slightly bitter. The flavour was sweet malt, hops, and spicy. Easily drinkable.

A golden ale with a thin resilient white head. Aroma of sweet caramel, vanilla, moka, with light hopping. In mouth, a biscuitty malt with light nutty bitterness, sustained, a bit of buttery notes. Rich for the low alcohol content. Bottle from LCBO.

500ml bottle. Pours a clear amber-reddish ale in the mug with a sufficient rocky off white cap that has fair retention and fair lacing qualities. The nose is caramely-sweet malts with light wisps of kent golding leafyness. Interesting profile: up front caramel sewwet malts musty woody tones and twiggy hop tastes in almost a perfect 3-way balance then mid palate the hop bittering breaks out and builds til it is the dominant taste in the finish with a light caramel after tone. Decent sessioner but not at these prices.

Has all the normal characteristics of an english bitter. Overall I found it a little weak in terms of flavour.Perhaps due to the low alcohol?

Pours a burnt orange with next to no head, leaves behind sticky lacing. Aroma is weak, some caramel malt, toasted grain, barely any hops. The flavour is pretty much a reflection of the aroma with the toasted grain being the base of the flavours. I guess its ok for being a light bitter.

Bottle. Pours a clear dark orange with an average size semi-lasting white head. Aroma of toasted grain, light Goldings hops, caramel malt and fruit. Flavour’s the same, grainy with light hops, mild caramel malt and a hint of fruit. Decent bitter finish. Medium bodied. It’s too toasty/grainy for my liking but it’s still a pleasant enough light beer and it would be easy to quaff several of these.

Not a bad bitter for 3.5%. Pours a yellow with some creamy head. Easy drinking, a nice mild bitterness. Neutral to cheesy scent in head. About average mouthfeel,
