OCB sampler pack.
Nice hoppy aroma, with a smooth nutty malt. Flavor is nice and hoppy, not overpowering, and the nutty malt is a great flavor to pair with the soft hops. Really a solid amber considering it was made in Ontario.

Sample during the Yukon Deny We Have a Tundra Canadian Beers. It's Trudeau! event on 08/14/2022.

A way too bitter version of a red ale. Not malt balanced enough. Brewed for popularity alone. oakville beer store (3.1 june 2019) Again from costco advent.. same shitty beer astringent and acrid

Can from the LCBO. Dark reddish amber pour with a large long lasting off white head that leaves a ton of lace. Nose is caramel, some dark fruit along with light grass and citrus. Light+ sweet caramel and honey with a corresponding citrus bitterness along with some roasted nuts. Mouth is medium and creamy with average carbonation and a light bitter finish. Glad i picked up a can to try. 7/4-/7-/4-/14

Draft - Light toast, caramel and vegetal notes. Clear Amber with a decent white head. Light breads notes, light grain and caramel. Meh.

Pours a darker brown than what I would describe as a amber, think more maple syrup. Clear with a finger or so of head. Really pleasant smell with this, cereal, a little toastiness and caramel, and a little vanilla. Taste of bready malt, some sweetness, a little bitterness that lingers. A simple beer but not a bad one.

Bouteille 341ml. De couleur ambrée foncée et claire. Nez de grains de malt sucrés et aux notes rôties, moyen-léger de houblon herbeux (thé), légèrement terreux et aux faibles notes citriques avec des notes de caramel et de noix. Plutôt mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture moyennement huileuse. Légère amertume de houblon légèrement terreux et aux faibles traces citriques lors de l’entrée en bouche (une amertume présente quoique très faiblement durant toute la gorgée) accompagné de notes de noix lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de grains de malt moyennement sucrés et aux notes rôtis ainsi qu’avec un léger goût de caramel rôti puis en finale une légère amertume légèrement asséchante de houblon plus herbeux (thé et herbes fraîches) vient se rajouter. Post-goût moyen et aux notes sèches, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux aux faibles notes terreuses, avec des notes de noix.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Ariel’s place. Thanks avrashi. Clear amber. Aroma of some with a floral note, some caramelly malt and light toasty hints. Flavor has a bit of malt sweetness,a bit of hops and a moderately bitter finish. Medium-bodied. Drinkable.

smells hoppy and some honey malt. Taste has a decent medium body. Similar yo tankhouse. Enjoyable little kick. Had this from a friends fridge after helping him move and it tasted great - much better than expected.

LCBO, Toronto sampler ($8.95): Pours a light amber color with a whitish head. Aroma is weakly of caramel malt. Taste has some bitterness in there, but not a very good hop profile. Not full flavoured enough. Basically, this is a mediocre amber ale, which is equally mediocre to the countless other brews of this "style."
