DraftDodger	1.8 Wood Buffalo Babe Blueberry Vanilla Ale Valemount 18/7 2018. 35,5 cl can from the Wine Merchant in Jasper. A shop sporting a bizarre range of beers so why not a Blueberry Vanilla Ale?! A somber cow on the can. Pours clear amber with medium-sized pink head. Settles as thin almost transparent layer of foam crawling up the side of the glass. Moderate lacing. Aroma is intensely sweet and somewhat artificial. Air refresher from the toilet, white sugar, vanilla extract and edelweiss. Medium carbonation. Thin, watery texture. Flavor is heavy sweet. Almost no bitterness present. Aftertaste is sweet and cloying. A pretty unpleasant experience unless you are into putting those things you use to camouflage the natural odors of a toilet visit into your mouth. No tart fruitiness from berries only artificial vanilla. Thursday, July 19, 2018

AgentAle	3.4 Wood Buffalo Hop Oil Test #1 Aroma is caramel, honey, citrus and a slight earthiness. Taste is caramel, light hints of cream and a both earthy and slightly funky finish. The oil addition is noticable and add a nice vegetal finish. Saturday, June 2, 2018

AgentAle	3.4 Wood Buffalo Babe Blueberry Vanilla Ale Aroma is vanilla, caramel and honey. Taste is a nice mellow balance of sweet malts and blueberries. The blueberry sweetness doesn't consume the palate which is nice. A nice patio beer. Better than expected. Monday, May 21, 2018
RobBestwick	3.2 Wood Buffalo Babe Blueberry Vanilla Ale 355ml can. Fresh blueberry aroma. Amber in colour with a small white head. Sweet blueberry and vanilla flavour. Medium body. A touch of bitterness in the finish. Good summer beer. Sunday, May 20, 2018
patricks110	2.6 Wood Buffalo Babe Blueberry Vanilla Ale Not for me; too sweet and vanilla isn't my jam. Pours a slight red with a frothy off white head. The nose is fruity, slight pastry note. Sweet, fruity, light tartness. Very monotone. Wednesday, April 4, 2018
patricks110	2.9 Wood Buffalo Northern Lite Extremely mild; light grassy and floral notes. A bit of citrus intrigue with almost no bitterness. Finishes dry at least with a straw and grainy malt profile. Nice refreshing brew that suites its purpose well. Wednesday, December 20, 2017

bulldogops	3.5 Wood Buffalo Black Gold Stout Rating #2148 - 2015.11.04 - Draught @revolutionyeg - Dark, dark brown/black pour with a weak tan foam that bubbles away super quickly. Aroma is earthy roast malts, coffee, and caramel. Taste is roast malts, with a hint of caramel and molasses. Oatmeal character shines in the finish, and brings balance to the beer. Low-medium carbonation, and on point for style. Decent. Monday, September 19, 2016
bulldogops	3.5 Wood Buffalo Overtime IPA w/ Mosaic and Grapefruit Rating #1888 - 2015.09.12 - #EBGARAF2015 - Clear golden amber pour with a bubbly white head. Aroma is grapefruit juice. On the palate, tons of grapefruit soda sweetness - pretty decent carbonation. A juicy sweet cask, but decent bitterness for the concept. Tuesday, August 16, 2016

Finish is dry, but balanced and satisfying. Tasty Tuesday, August 2, 2016

Thursday, April 14, 2016
DuffMan	3.8 Wood Buffalo Cascadian Dark Ale Guest tap @ Last Best in Calgary. Dark brown with Amber highlights and a dirty beige head that leaves sheets of lace. Aroma is black malts and overripe tropical fruits (this combo always makes me think of pig manure). The palate delivers the same, in a nice balance, with a firm bitter finish. Big body for only 5.3%. Nice brew, I’d like to try more from these guys. Tuesday, November 24, 2015
DeanF	3 Wood Buffalo Black Gold Stout Okay modest head and decent black body. Nice hops on the nose but not much stout like stuff there like coffee or barley. Flavour is soft coffee. A little weak. Drinkable but not too complicated. Monday, October 5, 2015
Reimer96	3.1 Wood Buffalo Pale Ale Pours a clear copper color with a frothy white head. Aroma of fruity esters, light citrus hops and pale malts. Taste is grainy, caramel malts, fruity esthers and light hops with a slight bitterness. Meh. Cheap as hell as oil is cheap though! Wednesday, August 26, 2015
Reimer96	3.4 Wood Buffalo Black Gold Stout Pours an clear black with a thick brown head. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, coffee and cocoa. Taste is roasted malts, dark chocolate, cocoa and bitter coffee. Finish is semi dry wi5h a light sweetness... Would be much better wo5h a dryer finish and would make a perfect dry stout.

reebtogi	3.3 Wood Buffalo Black Gold Stout 160z glass on tap at the Underground pours black in color with a finger of beige head that leaves some spotted lacing on the glass. Aroma is coffee and chocolate with some mild roasted notes. Taste is a roasted grain and coffee bitterness with a chocolate malty sweetness. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Overall, a fairly solid stout, similar to Guinness. Sunday, August 9, 2015
Reimer96	3.7 Wood Buffalo Hefeweizen Clean German hefe with a nice balance of cloves and banana... Light bubblegum too. Overall the body is a bit light but it’s supposed to be easy drinking and sessionable. Wednesday, July 22, 2015
Reimer96	3.4 Wood Buffalo Overtime IPA Pours a hazy orangish amber with an frothy off white head that leaves lots of lacing. Aroma of citrus, pine, caramel malts and graininess. Taste is citrus peel, pine, caramel sweetness, unfermented wort sweetness, grainy and fruity esthers. Overall a nice drinkable ipa that has some noticeable flaws... One it’s balanced towards malts for an American ipa and 2 the fruity yeast esthers. Eliminate this stuff and we have a great ipa. Wednesday, July 22, 2015

AgentAle	3 Wood Buffalo Northern Lite Aroma is sweet Canadian grain with a touch of honey, caramel and citrus. Very slight hints of coriander. Taste is very light malt flavor with a sweet and dry crisp finish. A tad of clove bitterness on finish. Well balanced overall and a good session beer. A safe palate but nothing earth shattering. Appearance is a clear straw hue with a thin pearl head that retains fairly well. Tuesday, June 23, 2015

MunBro	4 Wood Buffalo Overtime IPA Trying at Edmonton Craft Beer Fest. Wow. A great IPA. The nice guy at the booth says is is only available on location which is sad. I’d peg this at 70ish IBUs - a well balanced and tasty IPA. Lots of layers of hop and citrus flavors. Saturday, June 7, 2014
TheWoods	3.5 Wood Buffalo Black Gold Stout Belle couleur et mouse tenace. Goût de café avec peu d'effervescence comme un peu les irish stout commercial. Quand même bonne mais manque de goût spéciale a la brasserie. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone Wednesday, March 19, 2014
