2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. Amber color, off white head. Mild aroma of some malt and some spicy hops. Similar flavor, but mild again. Thinner body, slightly astringent. I see others have tried it on cask and I’m guessing I’d like it better on cask as well. In a bottle it’s inoffensive but kind of boring.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Amber color. Malty, light hop aroma. Hops really kick in in the palate - piney hop taste, semi sweet malty body. Great, long bitter palate. Very nice beer.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: APR 7, 2011 Bottle. Bought fresh at the brewery. Poured a slightly hazy light amber-orange with a 1 finger white cap that reduced to a good lace that stayed (much longer than any other F+M brew). Medium carbonation. Best nose of all the F&M brews....aromas of toast, caramel malts and a thin whisp of sage or pine. Starts bolder up front than other brews from this brewer, with a nice oily mouth feel and medium body where the toasty-caramel malt sits in almost perfect balance with the musty-sage hopping. Finish is clean with a mellow hop aftertaste. The outstanding character of this brew for me was its uncanny. almost perfect balance. Strangely one of the best balanced ales I ever tasted...beginner’s luck for F&M? A nice brew...much like a light scotch ale....I’ll buy more

draft at bow and arrow in toronto. clear amber with copper hue (pale ale?). it has almost no head. the aroma is slightly malty and has a hint of sweetness. light bodied, it has tea like fell. a strange pale ale.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draught at Winking Judge, Hamilton, Ont. Golden colour, beige head. Fast to dissappear. No noticable aroma, faint light bitters. Almost has a brazil nut flavour to it. Dry hop feel in the mouth. Weak body. Nothing special at all.
