cyrenaica (274), Milton, Ontario, Canada Jul 7, 2007 Updated: Aug 18, 2007I 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. Cartoon_khaki (1113), Brantford, Ontario, Canada Jan 3, 2003 A good brick beer. It is one of my favorit beers it reminds me of when I was at the university of Waterloo back in the day. It does have a bitter taste and lacks some of the more robust flavours of the other beers brewed by Brick. jerc (3114), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jul 11, 2003 Octoberfest 2000
Sweet, and not very hoppy its not as heavy Pretty average. tupalev (2296), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Apr 17, 2006 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. pootzboy (858), Calgary/ Kitchener, Alberta, Canada Jul 29, 2004 Updated: Sep 16, 2004Poured a true amber color with a smallish head that reduces to a ring quite quickly... medium carbonation..large AND small bubbles evident (???) Aromas all you get is, pronounced malty sweet smells and barely detectable hop grass tones. Stars bland then the cloying malt departure where the hops sit in the background followed by a fairly fast but bland finish...pretty macro brew standardization here. I think this is made to sell to the university types that want to think they are guzzling craft beer but need macro traits in the drink because they confuse brew character with skunkiness.. This isn’t a bad beer just another one with no character of it’s own.
