3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
341ml bottle pours a pale amber color with a modest white head that settles quickly and leaves only slight traces of lacing. Aroma is light toasted malts and some aromatic hops. Taste is light malty sweetness with some nuttiness and a bit of hop bitterness in the finish. Nothing special.

big head, has a brown to red colour, clear colour (from too much filtration?). Doesn’t have a big aroma (from the overfiltration?). but there are some roasted notes in there. palate is muted again reminds me of flavour removal from filtration. it has some bite and some nice roasted and big caramel flavour but it is a simple brew.

341ml bottle. Slightly cloudy red/brown colour. Good malty flavour and aroma with some touches of wood and nuts. Overall, a decent red ale.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Pours murky mud red-brown with quickly vanishing off white head. Touch of green apple, toffee sweetness, biscuit and nutty malt aromas. Medium carbonation, light medium body, typical amber ale malt backbone, but near cloying close to that of an artificial sweetness takes on a bit too much of a role, being not all that pleasant right through the finish.

Pours reddish amber with a thick white head. Nice arpoma very malty with notes of caramel and a subtle hop note. Flavour is nice sweet and malty with a light hop finish. Very drinkable. This is a nice session beer, but nothing to brag about.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Originally rated August 2009. New at the LCBO and comes in a 6-pack. Pours a caramel colour with an off-white head that leaves a creamy wave of lacing all around. The carbonation is quite light and the bubbles I see are very tiny. Nice caramel smell with some fruit, grain malt and beautiful nutty perfume. The mouthfeel is kind of thin with just a little stickiness in the end. Roasted malt taste, with fruits, nuts and light grain in the aftertaste. Quite a pleasant refreshing red ale that I would drink again.
