Pretty solid delivery here. Malty, oily in the mouth. Delivers what it promises.

UM02 (187) - Quebec, CANADA - DEC 28, 2010
Malty beer with a pronounced nutty flavour. Drinkable lager but nothing remarkable about it. The Scotch Irish line from Heritage is superior to those beers released under its own name.

Spab (1118) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 26, 2010
341 ml bottle from LCBO. Pours a clear dark copper/amber with small off-white head. Malty aroma with caramel, candyish fruit and nuts. Taste is quite sweet and malty with caramel, fruit and light nuttiness. Lingering sweetness in finish; fairly syrupy feel. Ok though a little too sweet.

sinkhole (258) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - SEP 15, 2010
Bottle. Pours a deep copper/brown with an average off-white head. Aromas of sweet malts, nuts, and caramels. Taste is sweet with the caramel and malts coming through. Hints of hops and nuts and perhaps a bit woody. Not very bitter and the sweet is okay but too sugary. A decent lager.

sseb69 (774) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - AUG 30, 2010
Bouteille 341 ml. 4.5%. Couleur rousse assez claire. Arômes de malt et caramal. En bouche, assez mince et aqueuse. Notes de caramel, légèrement de noix et peu de malt. Correct mais décevante.

Fruity, light nutbrown color, malty, velvety, but still light-bodied. Tasted in a bottle at the brewery.

presario (3977) - Stampede City, Alberta, CANADA - DEC 5, 2009
Received in a trade. Seemed really cloudy so I set it in the fridge for a week. Big psssst from the bottle when opening. Almost thought it was going to foam out of the bottle. Poured a glass of foam that kept rising. Taste of the foam and it is very bad. Sour infected beer. A full sip of the liquid confirms that this is not drinkable.
