Clear amber colour. small head that lingers. light malty nose. bitter hoppy taste that fades quickly.

Draught at Amberjack Tap House, Surrey, BC
Golden color; small creamy head. Light malt and hop aroma. Creamy malt flavor, ordinary; the yeast more than the hop gives a light fruity final. Correct bitterness. Simple but pleasant.

Disappointing flavour with this Pale Ale. Along the same lines as Alexander Keiths IPA (not a true IPA).

Great Canadian Beer Festival – 2009 – Victoria BC
The very malty pale ale. This was dark but tasty. I was very happy to drink this brew. They know there beer and seem to have a good following.

On tap. Clear & coppery with a big lasting head. Ok carbonation. This beer has a nice hop aroma. However, the hop flavor is muted in comparison. Malt has a very mild sweetness and gives this beer a body that is on the light side of medium. Dead Frog has created a beer that will offend nobody, but lacks boldness. Craft beer for the mainstream.

Copper brown, with large rocky cap, massive bubble creators are forming everywhere in it. Mild soapy aroma some coffee and a touch of sweaty feet, yum yum doesn’t that sound appetizing. Taste is watery with weak malts, hops or noticeable with a very mild bitterness. I got to remind myself this an EPA, not an APA. Some peach and mild coffee and chocolate also show up. Very boring beer with not nearly enough malt character, bellow average and easily forgettable.

Bottle: Poured an amber color ale with a large foamy head with average retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of dry caramel malt with light dry hops as well. Taste is dominated by not overly complex dry caramel malt with very little hops apparent. Body is about average with good carbonation. Standard pale ale with little character but no flaws as well.

A good amber coloured full head beer. A hoppy but not overpowering taste with a full caramel flavor.

Thanks to my brother-in-law for brining this back for me. Clear bright copper amber, moderate off-white head. Sweet caramel and apple juice aroma. Sweet grainy palate, some caramel, faint nutty quality, low hop content (tea leaves). On the thin side.

@GCBF-on tap-pours an off white head and amber color. Aroma is medium malt-caramel, faint hops. Taste is medium malt-caramel, some fruit, faint hops/some English/flat bite. OK/mild carbonation.

raisin, wood aroma. Pours a dark amber. Buttery, woodiness, light hoppy finish.
