Pours a clear light gols with a fast disappearing cap..weak lacing. Aromas are vague..some fruits some cereals Light body. weak malt spine watery character. fast light ale with some lagered character but totally indistinct. Clean crisp when cold with modest flavor and character...about as close to a corporate brew as you can get

Had in a bottle from Bottlescrew Bills, Calgary AB. Pours a dark golden reddish colour with a very thin white head. Aroma is of grain, and of malts, not much else. Taste of earthy, nutty and malt- slightly sweet and grassy. Medium bodied and unusual mouthfeel. In conclusion, this beer is okay. Not overly wonderful, but still a prettu good drink. Would drink again. I would like to taste more of the beers from this brewery.

Dark amber in colour, thin white coloured head, no lacing. The aroma was very grainy and dirty, stale pale malts. The flavour was a dirt and soil, earthy malts, some light sweetness seems to make this worse. Lightly bitter mouthfeel, light body, medium carbonation. Finishes light, watery. Seeing the word "dirt" in a rating over and over can’t be a good thing. <br /><br /><i>473ml can shared by <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=8067 target=blank> Jerc</a>, thanks Jeremy.<br /> Opened on December 1, 2007.<br /> No date.</i><br />

[888-20071201] 341mL &#40;Xmas Party 2007, beerhugger & guests&#41;. Skunky hay-like grain aroma. Clear, amber orange body with a quick creamy white head. Bit of butter hay in the flavour. Light-medium body is watery. Not great.
