Not bad for this brewer, a neutral aroma. Significantly lacey and golden with good sized white head. Taste is akin to a basic old ale, with barley noticeable in the finish, lager and average mouthfeel up front. Warming alcohol. A bit drying.

Amber with a small head. Bland taste that is livened somewhat by a nice malty blast. Finishes with a bit of bitterness and is instantly forgettable. But not unpleasant.

Bottle. Nice amber/copper body topped with a thin off-white creamy head. Good Malty/hoppy head that carries brown sugar notes. Taste lacks complexity and strenght. It ends with a decent bittersweet finish.

Bottle at TFOB 2006. Copper-orange with small white head. Mild malt aroma foreshadows a sweet malt flavour with light notes of toasty malt and caramel. Just enough bitterness balances out the finish. Palate is slightly more full than average. Have balked at commiting to a twelve pack to try this and am suprised how solid it is. I am wondering if they have changed the recipe because the earlier low ratings seem to not match what I was drinking.

Bottle sample at TFOB ’06. Dark golden-amber with a small beige head. Aroma of dark, sweet malts and subdued hops. Well balanced flavour, with roasted and caramel malt and a expertly hopped finish. Another solidly constructed beer from Magnotta.
