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.

473ml can shared by <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=8067 target=blank> Jerc, thanks Jeremy.

[888-20071201] 341mL (Xmas Party 2007, beerhugger & guests). 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.

Can (500ml) shared with HogTownHarry, tupalev & GregClow -- courtesy of jerc & mabel. Pours a clear orange-amber with an average size diminishing off-white head. Mild, unpleasant, stale aroma of caramel and grain. Flavour’s watery and follows the aroma: stale caramel malt & grain. Light bodied. Completely boring and useless.

Bottle shared with Hogtown Harry, Blankboy, and GregClow, courtesy of Jerc and Mabel. Dark copper, small white head. Harsh aroma of soy sauce, tart malt. Watery mouthfeel. Fruity awful taste. Terrible.
