May 13, 2009 Brightish ruby tinted (fake - like grenadine) copper coloured body with a cola like tan head - interesting. Aroma of fresh malt, oatmeal, grass, pine and a lot of metal. Medium-bodied; Strong astringent and mediciney taste up front with a lot of hops and mostly malt following soon behind. Aftertaste shows more hops with a light toffee sweetness behind and a very mild alcoholic kick near the end. Overall, a decent beer - not the typical APA nor showing a lot of range, but it’s not a horrible beer to sample. I sampled this 473 mL can purchased at the LCBO in downtown Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on 08-April-2009, sampled at home in Washington on 12-May-2009.

Feb 5, 2009 Can from jerc. What a surprise this beer was. Poured a nice dark amber color with a light head. Some malty and bready aromas give way to good hops. Flavor is very malty and has notes of apple cider...but it has a nice bitter kick. This is pretty good.

Jan 14, 2009 Pours a reddish amber with a creamy soft head that reduces to a film on top of the beer. Not a lot of lacing.
Subtle aroma of malt, some nuttiness, and faint citrus hops.
The taste is mostly malt but is not overly sweet. The hops are mostly there for bitterness and not a lot else. I’m not sure I’d call this a typical pale ale because of the maltiness to it. Maybe this is closer to a brown or red ale. Not what I was expecting, but I’m not dissapointed.
Mouthfeel is good and creamy with a medium carbonation.

Dec 29, 2008 Pours deep copper with medium off-white head. Aroma of roasted malts and subtle hops. This carries though to the taste with a hint of caramel sweetness. Not overly bitter hop finish. Very nice overall.
