Sweet malt/biscuit malt nose. Slightly more hops and biscuit malt taste than standard Canadian mass produced ales ( or Keith’s IPA which is actually a weak ale). I will finish this can, as opposed to many of its domestic Ontario rivals. (Amending my report - I couldn’t finish it.)

[50cl can from Home Bargains, Bracknell.] A hazy amber pour with a thick white head; sweet malty aroma; rather thin in the mouth with a jammy malt taste; then a light earthy bitterness. Over pasteurised, reminds me of most bottled "IPAs" from last century.

clear brownish ale. Aroma is cheap gran, and a touch of english hops, goldings i think. Flavour is quite grainy, nd corny with a slight hoppy finish, really not very enjoyable, tatses quite cheap, and very underwhelming, and unimpressinve.

On cask at the Goose, Jersey. Deep amber with a proportionate off white head. Malt loaf and caramel on both nose and palate. Light to medium bodied, dry roasty finish. A bit thin but decent Bitter.

Draft at some bar in Uxbridge Now this is finally bitter bitter. Maybe too much of it. Bitterness all over the place. Okay.

Bottle at Dean’s Birthday Tasting, August 2013. Poured a clear medium amber with a thin white head. The aroma is weak malt leading to a weak bitter flavour with a malty metallic palate. An average bitter. Tastes better in bottles.

Bottle shared at Dean’s birthday tasting thanks to Worldbeertaste. Pours clear brown with a tan head. Aroma of malt, caramel. Flavour is light sweet and bitter. Watery and lacking. Light bodied with soft carbonation.

50cl can shared, courtesy of Worldbeertaste @ Dean’s Birthday tasting. Thin white head. Clear golden pour. A hint of hops. Not even a bitter. Needs a lot more hops!

Fine dark yellow-brown body with a large bright beige head on top. Weak non-alchoholic beer aroma that is certainly unappealing. Flavour is weak water with a hint of hops... seriously? This is like a non-alcoholized IPA mixed with a huge helping of water. How does this register as a beer, let alone an IPA? Lose, lose, lose. Boo!

(can) clear amber colour with a tall white head; aroma of noble hops; balanced simple flavour - not much different from a better pale lager
