| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 30, 2008 A golden ale with a thin white head. Light caramel malt aroma, non-descript. In mouth, a grassy biscuitty malt, some crisp hops, refreshing. Tasted around April 2007. tiggmtl (4311), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 15, 2004 Mild fruity aroma with a touch of herbal hops. Clear golden coloured with shy, white head that diminishes to cover with marginal lacing. Sweet with a grainy note and a pleasant floral/herbal hop flavour and restrained bitterness. Medium-light body with fair carbonation that pricks at the tongue. Bottle. Thanks, jercraigs! HogTownHarry (4000), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jan 6, 2008 Bottle (341ml). Courtesy of GregClow. Yay, cream ale - frippin’ marvy. Clear deep amber pour, smallish fizzy white diminishing head (3-) - look, gotta give it props for SOMETHING. Smells like popcorn and something vaguely sweet. Tastes like a generic Canadian beer with a touch of buckwheat honey. Lightly chewy body, nice carbonation, a little sweet and roasty up front and a wee bit bitter in the tail. Pretty boring, but BTB (better than Blue). Sammy (3981), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jul 9, 2005 likely reformulated since these early reviews. Smell originally malty and fruity, then plain after warming up to room temperature. Short lived head. Creamy and malty, with a spot of fruit. OK with dinner at the end of a summer day.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 8, 2002 Pretty average. Typical aroma for that kind of ale, maybe a bit to sweet. Decent bitterness, slight scent of black berry pop out which was nice. jerc (3888), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 15, 2003 Crisp amber brew with a nice foamy head that dissipates to a thinner head fairly quickly
Nice bitterness, more pronounced as the glass goes on. Aroma is faintly of hops and malt.
