Draft @ Korea location: Poured a coppery color with a white head. Aroma is light malt and grain. Taste is malty with metallic hops and some grain. I don’t get this as a brown ale, but it might just be due to travel or where its brewed aka ingredients.

It sucks becoming a beer snob. I used to like this stuff before I learned about beer. Now it’s too late. Another teenage memory flushed down the toilette of snobbery.

Can, pours a light copper. Aroma of caramel, malt and wheat. Flavour is much the same - pretty standard beer. Drinkable.

Draught at Ship and Anchor, Calgary
Light amber color. Light and dry caramel flavor. Correctly bitter. Too simple and boring.

tap at Big Rock in Seoul - Pours amber with a mild caramel malt aroma. It tastes light, sweet, and creamy. It’s a little water. This beer is smooth and easy drinking with some flavor that at least puts it well above your typical macro suds.

Pours a amber colour with a white head that didn't last too long even after a vigorous pour. Heavy malt scents along with honey doughy yeast notes. Smooth initial sip. Very nice slightly toasted malt flavour with a little sweetness. The finish was a little doughy with some more bread flavours. Flavour disappeared quickly though unfortunatly.

Light brown brew with almost no head or carbonnation. Aroma of yeast and hopps is really sweet. Taste is a bit of let down compared to the aroma with a palate that is too watery. Drinkable but not exceptionnal

At one time I rather liked this...especially on tap. Now, as there are more and more beers available, I find this rather bland, but still quaffable

Pale nut brown. Light bodied, sweet, hint of late bitterness. OK as a session beer.
