Bendrixian (677) - Halifax, Nova Scotia, CANADA - APR 30, 2013
Frothy white head with a light amber colour. Muted, sweet malts and a hint of cereal or grain. light brew with a fast finish, has a light metallic finish and lacks any depth.

Pours a clear golden amber with small white head leaving a light white top over a few minutes. Aromas of sweet light malts, and slightly fruity. Flavours are sweet maltiness, caramel, faint bitterness. Not a whole lot to this beer.

Reimer96 (590) - Alberta, CANADA - OCT 27, 2012
On tap, pours a clear amber color with a white head that dissipates quickly and leaves little lace. Smell is of sweet malt and fruit but kinda faint. Taste is of malt and caramel with a little bit of hop bitterness on the finish. Was really hoping for more on this one.

AlainG (633) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - AUG 31, 2012
Elle est belle, mais n’est pas tout à fait ambrée. C’est blond tirant sur la châtain. En ce qui concerne son col, il est mousseux et persistant. Elle sent le malt et le pain blanc rassi. Elle goûte aussi le malt et laisse un tout léger arrière-gout acidulé et âcre. Des plus ordinaires. (316-150812)

I had this beer on tap in Halifax. Nice amber colour with rich white head. The malt/hop balance was quite good. The hop aroma came through with a long bitter finish, warmed by the caramel maltiness and earthiness.

WheatKing (703) - Oak Bay, British Columbia, CANADA - MAY 22, 2012
The lack of taste on my first sip was quite a shocker. Did taste some on its way down the gullet, but I didn’t warm to it much. Same Garrison taste, but this time with nothing to make it more interesting. Ice shavings.

garth_86 (197) - EDMONTON, Alberta, CANADA - APR 21, 2012
Pours a Dark amber color. Has a caramel, fruity smell. Taste is smooth but some fruit that I didn’t really like.

reebtogi (3266) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - NOV 29, 2011
341ml bottle from the tasters 6-pack pours a light amber color with only a finger of white head which leaves behind only a hint of lace. Aroma is mild caramel and floral hops. Taste is light malty sweetness and light hop bitterness. An average amber ale.

341 ml bottle from private order. Meh. Pours orangey amber in colour, small white head. Aroma and taste are slightly sweet malt, not much hop here.

341ml bottle. This was a decent beer, having a pleasant taste with some fruit flavour and just a little hopsy bite. Nothing terribly special, though.
