Nice clear amber pour, with a solid beige head. Very faint aroma of some uk hopping, and pale caramel malts. Carb is nice, mouth feel is good, and crisp. The finish is loghtly bitter, with a wet paper, mineral finish, with some light hopping. Meh.

South Burlington branch can.
A: Cloudy rust colour, off white foam is thick and leaves loads of lacing behind.
S: Mix of lemony hops and heaps of caramel and grainy malt.
T: Grain, caramel malt dominate with the lemon tasting hops playing second fiddle. Like it should be for the style.
M: Creaminess gives the impression of full bodied.
O: Well crafted Bitter. More of these in the US required!

Poured into an English pint glass (proper/correct, yes).
The appearance was a burnt/glossy dark amber close to brown color color with a sustaining cap of a little white head. Light lacing.
The aroma starts off with some sweet apples lording over a glossy sweet spice with an ample sweet breadiness slyly rounding it all out.
The flavor takes it all in with a sly use of some fruity esters to round out a sweet clean malt base. Semi-sweet nice malty aftertaste with semi-sticky finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionable trait to it. Feels good on my tongue, move slyly with a somewhat sticky feel.
Overall, good English Bitter for the most part and would go nicely with it’s respected food. Yes, pass the fish n’ chips!

Second bitter of the night. Purchased at Métro Plus in St-Jerome, QC. Pours a clean golden colour with a slight amber hue and very limited particles. Huge frothy warm cap, long lasting with fluffy-bubbly lacing. Caramel malt aromas with some hops and even notes of hay. The hops are mild, but keeps the sweetness away from the caramel malts. Again, grassy hay notes. Heavy carbonation, good bitterness. Goes down well and better than the Le Corsaire Bristol bitter I just had.

Depanneur Peluso, Montreal can: Pours a light brownish amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is caramel, earthy, toffee, with some light hops. Taste is slightly bitter. Earthy. Not a bad bitter, but there ain’t much special stuff going on with this one here.

Can: Poured a clear light brown color ale with a small foamy head with good retention with light lacing. Aroma of light dry bitter caramel malt notes. Taste is quite dry and slightly bitter with some dry caramel malt. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Well brewed to style with easy drinking characteristics.
