3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draught @ C’est What. Clear orange-amber with small nitro-looking, even head. Aroma is earthy, mild with some dirty socks and diacetyl. Soft, low carbonation and velvet mouthfeel. Sweet nutty and malty flavors are nice and smooth with an off-dry finish. Really smooth and quaffable.

UPDATED: APR 6, 2007 Rerate:
On cask at the Victory Cafe. Had this today and it’s way better then I describe below, it’s a refreshing and tasty Pale Ale, especially on Cask, and deserving of a better score.
Original score: 5.3.5.2.11: 2.6
On cask at Bar Volo. Mild aroma of hops and caramel. Amber colour with no head. Flavour is too moderate, not enough hops and malt. Decent but fairly bland.

UPDATED: DEC 31, 2007 [548-20070819] Tap @ Victory Cafe (Toronto, ON). Hoppy citrus aroma is mildly lemony. Hazy, amber brown body with a very long-lasting creamy white head. Mild citrus hops continues in flavour with a bitter finish. Medium body. Very nice to sip on the patio, especially in such fresh shape. (7/4/6/3/15) 3.5
[779E-20071021] Cask @ Volo Cask Days 2007 (Toronto, ON; "Dry Hopped"). Citrus and hoppy grass aroma. Slightly hazy, orange brown body with no head. Doughy yeast and mild alcoholic grass flavour. Smooth medium body. Uninteresting. (7/2/6/2/11) 2.8
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
(Bottle) Pours a medium, almond head and a copper body. Nose of sweet malt and slight whiskey. Slight fruity hops balances the caramel malt flavour. Hoppy bitterness greets you at the finish. My favourite of the F&M lineup.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
The pour reveals a slightly cloudy golden color with a medium diminishing bubbly white head. Aroma of caramel malt with mild hops. Surprisingly good flavor of woody hops and caramel malt with a mild bitter finish. The body has a medium thickness with an oily texture and lively carbonation. This pale ale is interesting, the hops are satisfyingly flavorfull.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Full malt aroma, hint of hops, copper colour, small white head with pleasing lace. Lovely malt flavour(candy for adults) nutty and hoppy. Well balanced, good tongue tingle. A really well done Pale Ale.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Hazy amber, small intense bead. Good hop,dry malt nose. Great balanced flavor with medium hop finish
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: AUG 21, 2009 Bottle direct from Maclean’s Ales. Looks fantastic - fiery orange, lots of streaming bubbles, creamy thick white head. Malty, hop aroma - very fruity. Taste is excellent - great fruity malt with noticeable hops and a very refreshing medium body. Very very fresh. I’ve had this on tap recently fresh as well and it has been excellent - a very nice little comeback.
Cask at Blue Meaney. Amber Orange Colour, slightly fruity aroma. Good balance between caramel malts and slightly fruity taste. Moderately bitter finish. Enjoyable.
