Limited, as it seems to be a watered down, slightly hoppier version of the old Ale. Disappointing as the previous was so promising. Overly carbonated as well.

rederic (2559) - montréal, Quebec, CANADA - NOV 10, 2010
On tap at the brewpub, amber color, with a beige head, mild fruity, hop citrusy nose with a light toasted, biscuity malt graininess, and a subtle toffee aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with nice fruity, toasted, biscuity, faint roasted malt character with some light toffee flavours, and a flowery hop leafy, grassy, citrusy note upfront, leading towards a fruity, lingering grassy hop bitterness finish.

Gorbalev (2827) - Ontario, CANADA - SEP 5, 2008
On tap at the brewpub. Orange/yellow pour, small white head. Pleasant aroma - some grain, some hops. Taste is nice - a bit light on the body, but that accentuated the hops. Nice malt base in the light body. Enjoyable and very very drinkable, this was a nice pint.

RaphaelN (195) - Peterborough, Ontario, CANADA - MAR 26, 2008
On tap at the Olde Stone. Not too bad of an attempt at an English Bitter. Nose was rich in hops and barley. I knew what to expect next. A nice rush of bitter hops attacked the palate with a prominent taste in barley and bread. Not too bad of a brew.
