Captures the soul of beer. It has a maltiness that reminds you that beer is a product of the soil. Balance of malt and hops.

550ml Bottle: My last sample from the Sam Smith’s gift pack at the LCBO. Poured much darkre than I had anticipated, deep blood orange, and offering up a significant head. The aroma is quite elaborate, lots of sweet malt and hop notes, fairly strong yeast. The taste is great by pale ale standards (I know, I know..) with oddly roasted malts, good hopping, some citrus sweetness. Sadly, like my other gift pack goods from these guys, there was a metal taste that was less than pleasing. Regardless, good stuff!

very dark for a pale ale; nutty taste that’s not common within the pale ale community but still a very tasty beer.

Bottle. White head didnt hang around too long. Nice lacing. Good flavor, not as good as their oatmeal stout, but not many beers are.

12oz. Bottle: Aroma is bitter. Smells of Pils-like malts, caramel and hops. Poured amber in color with a medium tan head that mostly diminished. No lacing. Clear. Sparkling. Flavor is medium bitter and lightly sweet. Tastes of caramel malts and sugar. Earthy. Medium body. Soft carbonation. Long malty finish.

Ruby in colour, with a fruit malt nose, a little natural fizz and a smooth light bitter fruit malt.

Bottle from Trenton Take out. Amber pour medium head. I did notice a slight hoppy aroma along with a hint of skunk. Alot of carbonation and a nice full body but the taste was rather simple and bland. It was just ok for me.

Bottle. Tea colored with quickly dissapating white head. Carmel, malts and hops. Thinner than expected.

Nice ice tea color with some white head and lacing. The slight sourness is actually pleasant after the malty flavor.
