Draft. Pours clear, light copper with a trace of off-white head; short retention and minimal lacing. Aroma is caramel and cookie malts, light toffee and light earthy notes. Flavor is heavy caramel malt, light fruit esters, and no hops; seemed somewhat flat. Medium body, low carbonation, and low warmth.

Tap. Pours clear pale amber with a small, fizzy white head, short retention with light lacing. Aroma is light biscuit and caramel malt, earthy hops and a clean lager character. Flavor is malt dominant with light hops and bitterness and a sweet finish. Light body, low warmth and medium carbonation.

Bleh! Not much aroma. Pours amber from tap with a half an inch of white foam. Not a lot of taste. Finishes clean.

On tap at brewpub. Amber with very thin head. Aroma is faint caramel. Flavor is caramel. Solid amber lager.

Deep amber pour. Soft chewy sweet malt aroma. A touch of minerally character. Light caramel and toffee flavour. Clean and chewy with a bit of minerally astringency on the back. Kind of misses for me.

tap @ Marzoni’s - clear brown pour, sweet toffee with a touch of nutty malts. Body is very smooth, raisins, yogurt and piney hops. Good balance.

On tap at Marzoni’s on our way to RBSG. Pours a clear copper amber with a thin to medium sized beige and white head. Fruity, clean malt, toast, crisp sweetness. Nice caramel and malt. Toasty and nutty. Toasty, and a little bit of apple sweetness. Even more toast on the finish, malty, dry and light with a slight bitter finish.

Tap at the brewery. Spicy, banana, malty, clove and pine aroma. Some volatile note I can’t quite put my finger on. Thin and disappointing flavor, corny and vegetal. Dull.
