Draught at the brewpub
Golden color with creamy head. An ordinary Ale, with some caramel but also a disturbing touch of burnt malt, both the aroma and flavor, rather unpleasant.

Pours an orange/amber with a light head with decent retention. Not much of an aroma present. Tastes slightly hoppier than I expected, light citrus with sudsy notes and present alcohol. Thin body but decent carbonation. Better than the Lager.

Sampled at the brewpub. MR24/07.

App.: Clear, light copper, tiny off-white head. Aroma: Medium-toasted malts, nutty, paint piney-resinous hops, a bit of caramel and toffee. Palate: Solid medium body, somewhat lively carbonation. Flav.: Nutty, sweet malts, more hops than on the nose (citrus, resinous). Finish is some medium-roasted malt and a little hops with almost no bitterness.

Better than the Red Truck Lager.

(Draught) Sampled at Dix Brewpub on June 22, 2006. Pours a foamy, beige head with a copper body. Nose is mildly caramel malt with a cantaloupe undertone. The flavour is rather syrupy with a diacetyl finish. Buttery and somewhat flat.

Butterscotch is strong in the fruity, caramel aroma. Clear brown body is topped by a low, off white head that recedes rapidly to ring. Butterscotch, toffee and caramel flavours with some fruitiness and some chocolate. Overall quite sweet and very buttery. Medium body with fair carbonation and a placid, almost lifeless texture. Sampled on tap at Dix brewpub with Oakes before Grey Cup 2005.
