341ml clear bottle. Light reddish brown shade, head is off white, creamy and quite compact, it doesn’t last long. Light aroma of caramel. Starts a bit watery, some caramelly malt flavour, midway, trace of metallic hops in the finish. Thin bodied.

The beer pours a medium amber with a small head with a malty aroma. Has a malty, caramel taste, nothing too complex, but still a tasty beer. A little bitter finish.

RobBestwick (583) - Calgary, Alberta, CANADA - FEB 18, 2007
Bottled. Pours with a very dark bronze hue and a small off white head. The aroma is sweet and similar to brown sugar. Sweet malty flavour with toffee notes and some bitterness in the finish. A pleasant ale.

Poured 12 oz bottle into a mug. Your average amber ale that quenches your thirst. Decent with a nice lasting aftertaste that makes you want to drink more.

MrManning (1942) - London, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 4, 2007
Bottle-Look at the description- "A lightly darker beer." Well done. It’s not as lightly dark as one might hope for , but it is a transparent aururn/copper, pouring a one finger beige cap. Minute lacing. Buttery/caramel muted malts in the aroma, cookie dough and some fresh fruit (apple). Fairly malt forward flavour leads to sweet raisin bread and caramel, fading into a mild hop/butter finish. Farily standard brew, this one.

maltdog (587) - Pueblo, Colorado, USA - JAN 3, 2007
Toasty copper color; the dense eggshell head starts at the two-finger level and takes many minutes to recede to half its original height. Crennelated rings of lace adhere as if glued onto the glass. Mild toffee and dark breadcrust aromas with nuances of caramel, bubblegum wrapper, fresh-sawn white pine, and ironlike hops. Sweetish, toasty flavor finishes fruity and with a charred sugar edge. Cedary. Medium body boasts a silken, buttery texture. Clean and "tingly" aftertaste. Not in the West coast style, but a balanced well-crafted brew nonetheless.

Golden colour with beige head. Adjuncts in the aroma. Light malt and hops.... eh..
