3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20Bottle - Dark malts and some booze. Amber clear nice medium head. Nice bitterness and red malts, bit of an alcohol bite and little finish. Slight hop profile, a bit resinous but pretty mild. Not bad, a bit pedestrian.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
nice colour and aromatics- pretty restrained though. the resiny, tea leave flavours are nice. a good session beer
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Smell is very malty, pretty hoppy as well. Has a nice bitterness but is well balanced. Solid amber/red ale.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
330mL bottle. Pours slightly cloudy amber with an off white head and a wonderful sweet toffee/citrus/grassy aroma. Sweet flavour that counters the bitterness well. Nice bold toffee flavours that is backed by a heavy hop presence. Very nice beer.

12 MAY 2013, bottle. red, occasional bubbles, lots of floating sediment. nose is gold raisins, alcohol, red ale malt. med body and moderately fizzy. some rye malt notes, faint dry wood, raisins, granola malt. pretty decent.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Good red. Pours red with nice, long-lasting head and good lacing. Smells hoppy with some musky malt flavour. finishes a little bitter and tangy. Sour on the long term finish. Carbonation soft. Bottle from Spinnakers.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
I’m really trying not to be biased, as I am never remotely impressed with Lakefront. So, with an open mind...this still falls short. In fact, I wouldn’t put this in the red category but brown as it’s too nutty and malty. Not my favorite red by any means...but good for Lakefront standards.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
355ml bottle. Pours a slightly hazy deep ruby amber, with a moderate off-white head, which lasts well and leaves good lacing. Floral and pine needle hops mix with robust toffee and rye bread malt notes in the aroma. Floral and prickling pine needle hops up front segue nicely into smooth toffee and a touch of port in the mid-palate, backed by lurking floral hops. These re-assert themselves in the finish, leaving a floral aftertaste. This is a nice example of the red IPA style, with its hops flavours very well matched to the richer malt notes.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours reddish-amber with a quick off-white head. Nose is surprisingly hoppy and with the classic big, English-leaning bready malt coming forward. Flavor is even sweeter (and less hopped) than the nose, with very little finish. Carbonation is low and alcohol is not noticeable. Drinkable but nothing that stands out.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Mane Liquor. Amber pour with a small, fluffy beige head. Nose shows sweet malts and light floral and earthy hops. Fair bit of up front toffee. Quite sticky sweet stuff. Kind of like creme caramel. Sticky and resinous with light floral hop bitterness on the finish. Solid beer
