Brick Amber Dry

I loved this beer, I really did. I was in University when I first tried this. I was a slave to the mainstream breweries when this happened in my glass. To me, the aroma is fruity in nature, which made me skeptical from the beginning. Being colour blind, I will not comment on colour aside from saying it isn’t dark, nor is it light. As for the flavour, I love it. It has a full flavour not found in a lot of mainstream beer.

Smells like a decent, tame Micro somethingorother. Drinking it makes my palate scrapingly dry, like some beers I drank in the eighties. I’m down with the mentions of butterscotch, graininess and I will add lack of hop personality - it is an odd package that,as tupalev says does have flavor.Too light body and veers into Macro territory with the feel and aftertaste. Is there corn that makes it rather Labbatt Blue-like? Bring on the Craft Brewers Alliance B-S, I was expecting it. And now... for the silly 200th rating music...

Bottle at the Rhino. Medium yellow, very small white head, a few streaming bubbles. Sweet malt, grainy aroma - not terribly pleasant. Sweet malt taste but incredibly light body. Weird grainy taste. Not very good - very thin - but there is some flavour.

Bottle from the LCBO-341 ml sample- Amber body with a fluffy white head. A weak aroma promises slight caramel, malt sweetness, and a smidgen of hops. Watery caramel flavours are paired up with mild hops bitterness and hay. Decent level of carbonation make this an easy drinker, a good lawnmower beer, and not much else.

bottle. LCBO singles bin. pale golden-copper body with a large white head that shortly diminishes into a small ring. pungent aroma, oh this should be a treat. light butterscotch notes. the flavour isn’t quite as offensive as the aroma suggests - though there really isn’t anything interesting to say. soft carbonation, sweet honey and caramel. not completely awful.
