My first reaction was a semi-surprised "oh! I like this."
But the aftertaste is metallic and there’s a clotying sweetness that mars the overall impression. Still, a nice looking and smelling ale with a very nice semi/sweet fruitiness to it.
Not bad...

Oct 3, 2008 Reddish colour. Caramelly, earthy nose with a light blackberry fruitiness. Soft, clean, lightly caramelly palate is lightly fruity.

Oct 2, 2008 Draught @ Winking Judge. Clear, red, with small white head. Blackberry, tobacco, and cherries in the nose. Weird cherry pit bitterness at the end. Strange but drinkable.

Sep 9, 2008 Can. Dark amber with a very short lived head: holds aromas of grass and heather, caramel. Tastes unpleasantly sour, herbal, with caramel.

Aug 30, 2008 473 ml can from LCBO. Large carbonation, small head, quickly dissipates. Fruity, smoky armoa, and flavour. Nice orangey, red colour. Intersting, not sure I’d want to drink all night, but a differeent diversion from the ordinary.

Aug 29, 2008 500 ml can in Toronto. Reddish brown color, low white head. Highly effervescent. Rather weak aroma of caramel malt and hops. A touch of dark fruits. Fruity, malty flavor. Smooth, with dark fruits and some bitterness that is quite earthy. Slightly candy-like as well. Not really special or interesting, but quite drinkable and not really bad.
