3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 HogTownHarry (4873) - Toronto (Harbourfront), - FEB 21, 2008
Draught. At the brewpub. Clear gold with an average white head. Sweet and tangy with a little floral-herbal bitterness. The taste was mild but pleasant, sweet fresh-hay malt and grassy mild hops. Light of body and a whisper of astringency, but only weak carbonation and a too-quick finish. It would be no problem to drink several of these - quite refreshing, but a little too simple and a tad boring.

Draught at the brewpub. Pours a clear gold with an average size diminishing white head. Aroma’s fruity with grain and light hops. Flavour’s a bit watery but clean and easy enough to drink. Mild, short bitter finish. Nothing special but better then I expected.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 tupalev (2730) - Waterloo, Ontario, CANADA - FEB 14, 2008
On tap at the brewpub. Brewed for Kingston’s Feb Fest. Golden yellow, small white head. I didn’t care too much for the fruity, grainy aroma, but it was ok. Taste was better - more fruit, light malt, great carbonation and mouthfeel. Not sure how it fits with the season, but this was a solid enough english style pint.

Draught at the brewpub. Proper name is "Pete’s Puck ’er Up", but the apostrophes won’t show in the name above. Light golden with a small white head. Aroma is interesting - a bit fruity (apples?) and grainy. Flavour is mild and balanced. Not much character here, but it’s refreshing and clean.
