probstk (674), Nepean, Ontario, Canada Jun 11, 2008 650 ml bottle from Sherbrooke Liquor (Edmonton), served cold in a wine glass.
App.: Fairly deep golden, clean, minimal white froth.
Aroma: Big gobs of sweet honey and sugar, very malty, a touch floral, some caramel, toffee and golden syrup, a bit of grain and cereal, a touch vegetal,
Palate: Medium body, very soft carbonation.
Flav.: Much like the nose, lots of really sweet honey, corn syrup, golden syrup, caramel, toffee, and any other overtly malt-like flavours; somewhat sweet, no bitterness.
Not for me.
CapFlu (3292), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Apr 27, 2007 (650ml bomber bottle) Purchased by my wife at the brewery. Pours medium, white frothy head with a mildly carbonated, amber body. Nose of 5 cent peach candies, ice cream and grass. Flavour is slightly bitter with hops and grainy. Very light in flavour and palate. Mild fizzy texture. Average. Rob_Bestwick (555), Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England Mar 5, 2007 650ml bottle. Highly hopped flowery aroma. Pours with a dark golden hue and minimal head. The flavour is very hoppy with some spicy notes and a bitter finish. If this was a bit more hoppy it would be like an authentic IPA. It is a decent beer all the same. pintbypint (879), Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Oct 15, 2006 650ml brown bottle. Poured deep gold/orange. Very slight head, fine white surface bubbles. Caramel malt aroma with a little orange/fruity note. Malty start, nutty, then leafy, lemony hop finish. Slightly grainy aftertaste. Lubiere (3256), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Jun 18, 2006 Hazy amber ale with a thin white head. Rather lemony aroma...infected? A BC gueuze? Rather citric moutfeel, shadowing the malts, acidic points, not unpleasant, but way past its prime. Bottle was less than 6 months old. June 18, 2006.
