Cask au Volo. Une robe ambrée presque brune. Une absence de tête mousseuse. Des arômes qui sont dominés par des céréales maltées aux sèches consonnances. Des saveurs maltées avec une apparition innatendue de houblons qui proposent beaucoup d’incertitude. Une bouche complètement éteinte. Des bulles qui sont mortes depuis belle lurette. Une texture qui en souffre. En finale, des notes amères qui tentent une construction.

Pretty good hoppy bitter, an appropriately smooth carbonation level. Was told this was Tommy something or other - alternate name? At Ceili Cottage on tap.

Grassy hop and barley aroma. More grassiness, hops, and some veggies in the taste and finish. Some sweetness, mild bitterness. Pretty straightforward hoppy ale, not bad at all.

Bottle. Pours nice orange-amber with small off white head. Sweet apricot aroma, some caramel and some light bread and grain notes. Zesty, light-medium mouthfeel, medium-high carbonation. Initially sweet, following through with a nice residual bitterness and hop flavour; a sweet, yet lingering bitter finish with a touch of bready yeast character to ponder.

341 ml bottle from Beer Store. Pours a clear amber with small white cap. Caramel and fruity malt in nose with light floral and citric hops. Flavour is caramel, fruit, floral, slight nuttiness and a bit of tea with moderate citric hop presence in finish. Medium body. Quite English and quite good.

341 ml bottle. Pours light copper, slightly orange in colour, with decent off white head. Mild aroma, but nice sweet, caramel maltly taste. Very thick mouthfeel. Very drinkable.

Impressed by an Ontario brewer. Aroma is hoppy with malt. Taste is a smooth hop feel. Creamy mouthfeel that is very pleasant with burnt hop. Glad I bought a sixer.

On cask (Victory I think) Appearance: Orange-Golden with a small white head. Aroma, grassy, fruity with grain and malt, some nice hops too. Flavour: Burnt hops. malt, very dry yet creamy with a nice bitter aftertaste.

Bubbly, clear Orange with quickly disappearing foamy off-white head. Earthy Hop aroma. Dry, sweet, clean, crisp taste. Easy drinking but light on taste.
