amber colored pour, rather typical amber ale nose with caramel dominant. taste is nutty/caramel. Again typical.

(Bottle) Pours amber to brown. The aroma is toasted and a bit fruity with a note of burned butter. The flavour is of butter, caramel, toffee and fruits. The mouthfeel is soft, round a light watery. Medium bodied.

341mL bottle poured a deep amber color with modest off-white head and little lacing. Aroma of caramel malts and some floral hops. Taste is caramel sweetness with a dry hop finish. Decent carbonation and light to medium body. A fair amber ale.

Clear dark copper colour. Rockey off white head that fades quickly. Dry malt nose with slight yeasty hints. Slight dry malt taste.

341ml bottle purchased at the Taproom store in Granville Island, Vancouver for $2.50CAD Very good.

A - Roasted caramel A - Amber brown T - Sweet M - Medium and soft O - Full amber

Very little head, and what’s there is fizzy and disappears quickly. Aroma is alcohol, tin, and malt. Taste is smooth cardboard with a tin finish and a slight cream aftertaste. This one isn’t working. How did it become an "instant favourite"?

341 ml bottle. From Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Dark mahogany colour with tiny off-white head. Caramel malt in quite dry aroma. Dry hoppy bitterness and caramel malt in flavour. Quite thin.

Draught at the taproom
Amber color, creamy head. Caramel aroma, lightly nutty. It has an average nutty caramel flavor, and correct bitterness. It’s a fairly well brewed Amber, without excitement.

bottle - clear amber beer with almost no foam. Some strange wood aroma. Flavour like cloth and some nuts.

A malty aroma with a hint of strained grain. This is fairly decent. Not funky, just a bit uninspired. Not real malty but decent enough.
