| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Dec 11, 2008 Bottle. Medium-gold with just a touch of brown. Woody aroma features components of tree bark, stalk, cardboard and chalk. Gritty palate with good texture and above-average richness for a low-alcohol beer. Up-front wood gradually evolves to semi-bitter hop finish with nice malt backbone throughout the flavour cycle. Above expectations.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 25, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy orange amber with a medium large white head. Lightly sweet. A bit of a sweet and sour thing going on here. Nothing really sour, just a nice contrast to the sweetness that shows up initially. Subtle, with some citrus, but a bit of paper and cardboard. Finishes up with a bit more sweetness presario (3010), Calgary, Alberta, Canada
| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Dec 4, 2009 Quickly thinning head on amber. Slightly sour grainy aroma. Ash and lemon flavour does not a session make. AWS9 (234), Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Oct 2, 2009 Fruity, bitter peppery aroma. Gold lager-ish appearance. Some veggies and spice. Decent hops give an okay bitterness. Mild astringency underneath kind of sullies things. Not bad, though largely uninteresting. Diogène (584), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Jun 14, 2009 Bottle. Clear fizzy yellow with a medium frothy white head. Good retention and average lacing. Aroma is corn, malt, boiled vegetables, minimal english hops and metal. Flavor is burnt malt, English hops, corn and a moderately bitter finish. Medium body and fizzy carbonation. jgb9348 (2515), Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA
| 1.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 5/20 | May 27, 2009 Bright golden crystal clear coloured body with a super large and soapy (not dense) white head. Aroma of pale malt, fake sugars, light hops and cardboard - not much nice going through this. Light-bodied; Fresh malty flavour with a tiny bit of hops in the mix and very little else - nothing too pleasant. Aftertaste is pale and not pleasant, perhaps nice in a hot day, but I don’t see many of these up north. I sampled this 341 stubby small bottle purchased from the LCBO in downtown Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on 08-April-2009, sampled at home, south of the border in Washington on 26-May-2009. matt7215 (1002), Cambridge, Ontario, Canada
