Perhaps the best beer I’ve had all night, which is faint praise considering I’m drinking beers made in Ontario. The quality of brewmanship in this province is utterly disgraceful. Shambolic. Even North Dakota can do better than this. The beer itself is again somewhat thin, some caramel flavor, perhaps a touch of fart essence, hints of dunkelness. Not really an EPA style beer.

473ml Can courtesy MrManning from a long ago trade. Reddish brown pour, slightly watery with a thin white head. Caramel malt and bread dough aroma. Smooth malty taste with hints of caramel sweetness. Decent session Pale Ale.

Supercan. Sweet caramel, dry leafy tea-like hops, a little on the thin side. Decent enough.

Pours a slightly hazy brown with an off-white head with decent retention. Nice fruitcake aroma with notes of alcohol. Tastes much like my Dad’s homebrew, in that it has a wide range of malt flavours, a bit of residual sweetness, but it’s a tad watery. Good bitterness, no hop aroma or finish. Low carb, thin body. Sessionable, balanced, tastes more like a brown ale than a pale. Average.

Bottle from brewery. Pours a reddish-brown with a frothy head. Aroma is minimal and little to distinguish it. Really nice palate with mild carbonation. A lightly bitter finish.

Tallboy. Dark Red/Brown with a thin tan head. Weak nose of malt and nuts. Tastes of malts, quite strong nut flavour and a little caramel, hops and coffee. Easy drinking, with a long nutty aftertaste. Quite Good.
