Hazy light amber color; served too cold. Caramel aroma, simple flavor, with some malt, caramel and a hint of toffee; correct bitterness level, but missing some better hop qualities.
Simple.

PWheatley (119) - , Quebec, CANADA - JAN 5, 2010
on tap at the brew pub. This was a very nice example of the pale ale style. Hops were noticable but not over powering. An easy beer to drink and enjoy with friends.

CapFlu (3798) - Victoria, British Columbia, CANADA - DEC 25, 2006
(Bottle) Shared at the PNW Christmas 2006 party at Oakes on December 9th. Courtesy of Dan via the Growler Express. Lasting tan foamy head with a clear bronze body. Nose and flavour are fruity with a caramel base. (5/3/5/2/10) Re-Rate I sampled this beer again within a couple of weeks (December 23, 2006) at the brewpub. It was far better with distinct piney hops that were more biting and very, very fresh. (6/3/7/3/13)

BeerPrince (1701) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - DEC 20, 2006
Clear and copper with a massize head. Nose is caramel with a slight amount of hops. Slightly hoppy flavour but otherwise just plain malts and some dryness to finish it off.

TimE (2068) - Tokyo, JAPAN - DEC 20, 2006
Pale amber color, butter toffee nose. Very light mouth, buttery popcorn and a buttery finish. Granville Island Pale Ale lovers rejoice.

Clear copper with a huge off white head and strong lacing. Light floral nose with a touch of soap. A little caramel malt hanging out there. Bitter hops with just a touch of bubblegum. A light dose of citrus as well. Light hop finish.
