| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 30, 2008 Pours a golden brown with a thin white head. Aroma is straight up skunk. I’m thinking of starting a patition to ban clear bottles. The flavour OK, despite the skunkiness, some hoppiness, with a decent malt bass line. It’s an alright beer, but it could be much better.

| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jun 29, 2008 Bottle purchased from LCBO seasonal beers. Pours a golden brown with white head. Quite a grainy flavour. A tad watered down and overly carbonated. By no means bad, hard to go wrong with bitters, but this one was far from great. Beth101 (317), West Yorkshire, England
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jun 29, 2008 Honey colour with a slight smell of flowery hops. Small off white head alot of carbonation. Had a malty taste with a hint of citrus. Too much fizz for my liking. HogTownHarry (4000), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 28, 2008 Bottle (500ml - clear). Clear gold pour, average fizzy white head. Grassy and minty, medium-strong pungent "euro" hops - sort of catty and reeky, but fresh. Taste is mostly grassy, a hint of honey with the grainy malt, mildly bitter finish. Light bodied, weakly carbonated, the malt fades quickly, but it’s dry and refreshing enough, a little funky in the back-end. DougShoemaker (2856), Toronto, Canada
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 28, 2008 Aroma is a fruity malt with some leafy hops, amber, pours a slim off-white head. Taste is a fine malt, nice woodiness too, hops mingle to a pleasant bitterness. Light bodied, balanced, nice candied after taste. Quite good! shintriad (698), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Jun 24, 2008 Pale slightly cloudy gold with a thin, very fizzy and dissipating head, yet decent lacing. Light citrus and hops in the nose. Taste is very steely and harsh to me, some bitterness and grass in finish. Harsh carbonation. It burns! yarry (370), Waterdown, Ontario, Canada
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jun 22, 2008 500ml bottle, 4.7% a/v
Pours a dark gold colour with a thin white head. Aroma is very light, some grass, wheat, and a bit malty. The taste is a playful sweet malt with a nice hops balance. The beer is a bit thin but overall successful. tupalev (2614), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 19, 2008 Bottle (clear, boo!), LCBO. Dark golden yellow, small but thick bubbly white head, lots of streaming bubbles. Fruity, grassy, sweet aroma. Taste - nice hoppy bite mixed with fruity malt. Clear bottle had no affect, this seems fresh. Malt is very bready and cereal like, body is soft and possibly just a tad watery. Ratings surprise me, this a pretty solid English bitter in bottle form.
