Pours a crystal clear burnished gold color with a one finger rocky cap. Fair head retention and lacing. Aroma is lightly fruity with a musty sweetness to it and leafy hops in the background. Light palate, soapy mouth feel, modest malt spine, fruity lightly bitter soft character. Up front you get some modest biscuit malts and a splash of light sweetness (honey?) then mid palate the hops shift from herbal to lightly bitter then dominate the flavor profile to the clean dry finish, A light slightly dry pale with a light kiss of sweetness...not bad... pleasant but unmemorable.

[1085-20080201] 473mL (w/ blankboy, jerc, mds). Grainy alcoholic hay sticks aroma. Clear, orange amber body with quick foamy white bubbles. Bit of butter haystacks in the flavour almost hints at sweetness. Thin light-medium body. Not interesting.

<i>Can &#40;473ml&#41; shared with jerc, mabel & mds -- courtesy of jerc.</i> Pours a clear orange with a large fluffy white head. Aroma and flavour of grain, sugary sweetness, light malt and light hops. Not getting any honey. Light to average bodied. Blah, it’s O.K. I guess.

2008-02-01. Can from BC Liquor Store in Kelowna. Dark yellow body with a small white head. Muted grainy aroma. Mild flavour, moderate bitterness throughout, slightly astringent finish. Average to thin palate. Meh<P> <i>"This? Big Shaft?!?" - mds</i>

341ml brown bottle. Gold pour, white head sticks around for a while providing some spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma is sweet with a trace of honey. Flavour is grainy, trace malt sweetness with a trace of grassy hops. If there was honey added it fermented out dry. Light body with an easy carbonation. Tastes little like any amber ale I’ve had. More like a mainsteam pale lager.
