3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Ruby Red with a thin tan quick disappearing head. Ruby smell of pomegranate, light malt, bread, nut with light roast. Crisp medium slightly oily body, fizzy. Nut, roast, sweet caramel malt, with a light soft bitter finish, no aftertaste. Very easy to drink, lightly watery smooth. Clean, spicy and very nice.

Nice colour and pleasant aroma. Somewhat overwhelming carbonization although easy to drink. Nothing to special, but enjoyable.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours dark brown, clear with some reddish tinges and a moderate off-white head. Mild aroma with hints of roastiness, caramel and dried figs. Sweetish flavor, some dark fruit and floral notes, nothing outstanding, but not bad. Medium body and pleasant carbonation.

Bottle in bar on top of Park Hyatt Toronto. Nice brown body with medium tan head. Nose of malts. Taste quite roasty and caramel and toffee. Enjoyable.

On Tap. Pours translucent brown, highly carbonated, creamy and large white/tan head. Some malt and fruit on the nose, thin-bodied with caramel and nuts on the palate. Not overly complex but a better then a macro.

Predictable and somewhat americanised brown ale. Offers a pretty solid option when on tap. Sweet and bitter with some malt in between. Enjoyable.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bought at The Beer Store in Arnprior for the holiday feast at my house, for guests who didn’t byob. I wanted to get a fairly good beer that didn’t cost a fortune, and was easily available. This beer is in the ’discount’ category. It’s a pretty good beer. Pours clear brown with a light tan head. Taste is a bit sweet, while flavour is malty with some nice roastiness. Bitter finish which I like when it chases the sweet taste. Also a slight metallic finish, which is a disappointment.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours a light brown color with a small beige head. Faint aromas of sweet malts with a hint of hop peeking through. Flavor is a quick burst of sweet malt that is quickly taken over by a metalic taste and bitter.The finish still has that metalic taste, but a bready sweet malt is coming out in the end. Very bitter aftertaste. Thanks Andy for bottle!
