jerc (3114), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Aug 2, 2003 Nov 00: Reminded me of Aventinus from Germany, but with more subdued clove flavors and less alcoholic kick. On the whole I like Empire's version better I think Radek Kliber (3309), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Dec 3, 2002 Cloudy appearance a bit like of an English tea, nice aroma, refreshing, classic. Slightly salty, alcoholic flavours with tropical fruits. daboskabouter (1468), Fergus, Ontario, Canada Oct 18, 2002 Very dark orange. Candyish aroma. Body is sweet, touches of yeast, banana. Finishes hoppy. Spritzy. Oakes (6853), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Oct 11, 2002 Sampled at Syracuse location. Dark amber, cloudy; lots of bubblegum, banana, papaya in both aroma and palate. No real dark malt presence. Light yeastiness in the finish. With this beer I have now sampled more American beers than Canadian. This might flip flop the next little while, of course, but a big turning point in my beer tasting.
