Aug 13, 2008 [1541-20080719] Tap. Mild grains aroma. Clear, amber orange body with a long-lasting creamy white head. Bitter lemon rind grains flavour is a little hoppy. Medium body is tangy. Average.

Apr 24, 2008 On tap at the brewery- Deep copper/amber with a frothy white cap. Nose is of muted earthy malts and wet hay, alongside some vague fruitiness and butterscotch. Flavour profile is weak sweet malts with a dank fruity component. Very weak. Something says this isn’t right. It’s sorta of muddled and doesn’t resemble much. It’s a sweet, dank, strange muddy concoction. Not offensive, but confused.

Jan 1, 2006 Draught at the Merchant Ale House. Hazy golden-amber with a tight white head. Muted aroma, but what I could find seemed stale to me. Flavour was pretty standard for the style, but again, somewhat muted and stale. This staleness seemed to appear in a lot of their beers - maybe they just haven’t had a lot of turnover through the holidays? Whatever the case, there’s no excuse for serving stale product at a brewpub, and my ratings reflect that.

Dec 31, 2005 Updated: Jan 26, 2006Draught. At Merchant Ale House, shared with jerc and GregClow. Poured hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma said "stale barn" to me - stale hops, weak malt, sourish grain mash. Taste similar, bump the hops up, a bit more sour and vegetal (not if a really bad way). Mouthfeel is thin and astringent - overall quite disappointing, but if fresh (and not so cold) this might have been decent.

Oct 17, 2005 Neat creamy head, amber brew below. Very light aroma (maybe because their taps were far to cold), just faint hop / malt aroma was detected. Smooth, creamy ale, more organic in feel than previously rated IPA. Vegetable, earthy. Average at best.

Oct 10, 2005 On tap at the Merchant Ale House. Muddy orange in colour, very small off-white head, no lace. The aroma was of floral hops, orange zest, slightly sweet, lightly bitter. The flavour was of orange and lemon citrus, some bitter floral hops, some earthy malts. Filling bitter mouthfeel, medium body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes dry with a lingering citric bitterness. Nice beer.

Aug 16, 2005 Slightly hazy copper body, tiny white head. Muted malt and citrusy hops in the aroma. Flavour is hop dominanat - grapefruit, minute lemon - over just supportive enough malt. Grapefruit borders on astringent in the finish. Average palate. Quite pleasant, found this had more citrusy hop flavour but less bitterness than the IPA.
