3.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at the Golden Kiwi restaurant and pub in Cambridge, ON, not far from the brewery. This is a fine example of the style, with a little more roast barley flavour than some. Quite a bit of body for a low alcohol beer, but not at all sweet. Smooth finish, and of course eminently drinkable as a mild ale should be. On a hot day I could have three or four.

Wow... 99 percentile? Well, I don’t know if this is better than 99% of beers in its style, but that’s because I feel milds don’t get rated high enough! I won’t punish this beer for that. This one of my favourite Canadian session beers... it’s not easy to make such a well balanced beer, with the bitterness and sweetness having a pillowfight on your tonsils but they’ve done it. (My apologies if you’re tonsilly disabled)

Dark roast, strawberry and cherry aroma. Very dark ruby brown. Smooth and gentle roast, little grainy twang and strawberry juice.

Tap at volo, pour is pretty dark, the taste is a nice mix of porter like dark roasty malts and just a light taste of the yeastyness. The beer is pretty mild, overall not bad, but not too amazing, decent stuff

Thanks to ericandersnavy for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours a dark amber color with a tan head. The aroma is very malty with a lot of toffee and some caramel mixed in. The flavor is similar. I get a ton of toffee, caramel, cocoa and some nuttyness. For such a low alcohol beer, there is a lot of flavor. Thin to medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Very nice.

On tap. Clear dark brown, not much in the way of head. This is barley juice. Aromas of caramel and honey -some chocolate thrown in. Fairly sweet. A little bit thin. Low alcohol + sweetness = goes down very quickly.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours dark brown. Chocolate and coffee taste, with an extremely smooth body and no aftertaste. A little more watery in texture than you’d expect given the smooth and creamy taste. A good beer.

Draught at "The Winking Judge" Hamilton Ontario. Pours a deep dark brown, with next to nothing head that recedes to nothing. Aroma is of malt, caramel and nut. Taste is again carmalized malt, nut and some raisin, maybe a tinge of coffee in there as well. Very smooth and nice on the finish.
