Pours a clear amber color with a nice ivory head. Leaves a nice amount of lace on the glass. Smells of sweet malts and some faint citrus notes. Taste is clean upfront and then finishes with a very smooth bitterness.

Pours good golden hue with some good frothy head. Aroma comes in well and taste has some hoppy notes but nothing hits more than average.

Poured a clear golden amber colour with a two-finger off-white sudsy head that retained well and gave good lacing. Aroma of sweet malt. Taste slightly bitter as influenced by hops - hops provides some bitterness but this is not over-bearing. Medium body. Long slightly bitter finish. A good pale ale.

341 ml bottle. Beautiful dark gold color. Two finger off-white head. Smell is not too inspiring, metallic and slight alcohol. Taste is firm bitterness, slight hints of caramel, maybe some maize. There is a faint hops flavor, but not quite present enough for a pale ale, in my opinion. A bit of a sharp alcohol taste which is distracting. Overall, this beer is a bit disappointing, but in all fairness, it was once my favorite beer many years ago. Great "stepping stone" beer for those who are moving away from the macro brews and more towards craft beer. If this had more hops flavor / aroma, I’d be sold, and I don’t say that as a hop-crazy IPA fan, I just think it would really compliment this beer.

Pours a clear medium amber with a thin head and a full wash of lace. The flavor is straightforward - good caramel malt at the onset gives way to a light but clear hop finish. Unassuming, yes; also good tasting, easy drinking, and sessionable. Recommended

Pours a clear gold color with no head. Aroma of Malts and no hops. Taste is bad, no hops heavy malts. Bad beer dont drink this ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Aug 22 2012. 341ml bottle pours clear amber-red with 2 inch foam head. Head settles to cap and has good lacing retention through duration of drink. Aroma is strong biscuit malt with traces of an earthy hops. Flavour starts with honey/caramel biscuit followed by grassy hops. A well balanced brew with a dry finish, crisp mouthfeel, and lingering bitterness - not strong but present.

Bottle 341 ml. Served in a pint. Pours clear amber with tiny white head, quickly diminishing. Aroma and flavour: Earthy hops, floral, honey, malt. Taste has a strong bitterness, well balanced with a malty sweet finish. Medium bodied. Not outstanding (especially for the style), but still one of the good commercial beer you can find in Quebec. Refreshing and drinkable.

Clear amber color with fleeting ivory sheen. Perfume, honey biscuit, floral aromas. Medium body. Nice lightly sweet honey biscuit flavors with floral hoppage--easy drinking

Crunchy malt, nice clean hops, dangerously drinkable. To be drink in a pint on McAuslan’s Terrasse. To be drink in your pint on your terrasse. Well done for so many years. A classic form this brewery. A nice introduction to "real" beer. What a commercial beer sould be.
