Nothing but sweet maltiness in the aroma and on the palate. Not much interesting going on here.

Thanks to jordan for muling this. Pours a reddish brown with a thin off white top. Aroma is distinctive bready malts and earthy hops. Taste is bready malts with anice hop bitterness with a caramel finish.

solidfunk (1820) - Ontario, CANADA - APR 29, 2013
Smells a little malty. Little hops. Taste sours after a few sips with slight dose of hops. Pours clear with some head, lacing. First bottle in BC.

Poured from tap. Clear amber with foamy white head. Roasted malty cereal aroma. Nice malty easy drinking pale ale style with mild hops.

piscator34 (1799) - Winnipeg, Manitoba, CANADA - APR 22, 2013
Canned sample. Pale orange in colour with medium (and soft) carbonation. Aromas are of tangerine, pale malt, and toasted nuts. More mild sweet citrus and toasted grain in the mouth along with a hint of caramel. Soft bitterness, but clean finishing. Not bad overall.

northropfrye (1352) - Steinbach, Manitoba, CANADA - APR 18, 2013
Amber colour with white head. Aroma is nutty and sweet. Taste has a similar peanuty quality to it with a sweet backbone. No noticable hops. An alright beer.

Jur (146) - NETHERLANDS - MAR 16, 2013
Dark yellow copper pour, little head and modest sourdough nose. Starts of slightly sweet, with caramel and raspberry. Then a malt and almost no hop bitter. Well balanced and pleasant carbonation, which makes it crisp and fresh. Very sessionable.

simonblaine (100) - Alberta, CANADA - FEB 22, 2013
Malty, hoppy, drimkable. More than normal levels of carbonation. Drank straight from the bottle

MrFecesious (329) - British Columbia, CANADA - FEB 3, 2013
Had this before, but now rating off tap at Darby's. yellow gold pour. Aroma of honey nut Cheerios that have been sitting in 2% dairy milk on the counter for about 9hrs, with a slight punch of residual alcoholic burp as you smell the bowl of thick soup. Taste is pretty much the same. Quite malty cereal. I just want to drink water, cuz dairy makes me thirsty. Good marketing ploy from an up-and-coming sell-out like GIB. Molson doesn't have too much stranglehold on the island yet. Phillips is still the top contender, and this beer is pure evidence.
