AlchemistZ (493) - Richmond, Virginia, USA - SEP 6, 2004
Big, sustaining, dense, creamy head that is pale in color. The beer itself is a pale copper color. Aroma of fruity esters, earthy hops and an underlying bitterness. Profile is dry, very fruity, with a strong bitterness up front then again in the finish. The malt flavor peaks about 3/4 of the way through and sustains itself for only a few seconds before diminishing. There is also a smokey note.

UPDATED: JUL 4, 2005 21 May 2004 - Slight fruit malt aroma. Clear amber, small head but retains film of white lacing. Light malt flavour, easy drinking, hoppy sweet finish. Low bittering, light mouthfeel and a bit of a flat finish.

Sampled at the Toronto Festival Of Beer 2004. Light amber colour with a small white head. Decent hop aroma. Thinnish body with a good carbonation level. Well balanced flavour with enough hops in the finish to be interesting. I’d heard lots of bad things about this beer and was frankly expecting it to be crap, but it wasn’t bad at all.

jerc (5444) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 7, 2004
Amber orange body with a thin white head. Bit of English hops in the aroma. Pretty standard English ale, with some moderate hoppy bitterness. Fairly well balalnced and quaffable with lingering bitter aftertaste. Palate is nice.

Belly Full O Beer (57) - Nova Scotia, CANADA - JUL 27, 2004
Nice beer, tastes better from the tap than from the can. Made an alright substitute for Keith’s before you could buy it across Canada.

Draft. Haven’t had this in years, but I have some good memories of drinking this in an English pub in Toronto with my wife on our honeymoon. Also the really cool dart mat at Penny Lane in Richmond with the DD logo. Medium amber, good head. Slight malt aroma. Flavor has a gentle apple note with a decent bitter finish. Just barely enough malt to balance. Enjoyable bitter.
