473ml can. Pours a clear gold-amber with a small, foamy, short lived, off-white head that laces. Mild, sweet aroma of grainy pale malt, honey and floral hops. Sweet flavour of bready pale malt, honey and grassy hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Clean, easy drinking and refreshing, but a little boring.

On tap at Mt Begbie, pours a clear golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out cereal malt, straw and a touch of sweetness. Flavour is clean and fresh, with sweet cereal malt and straw. Simple and clean, but forgettable.

This thing looks like a lager with barely any head and bright copper body. Smells of rotting cabbage and sugar. Flavour is fermented frosted flakes and cream of wheat. Cloying finish. I can't believe how bad this is, I sure hope it isn't skunked as it was bought in a local liquor store. The whole thing just seems off.

Gold, white head. Nose of dirty socks. Vague boring palate. Beer of the year ? Bullshit

Tap at last drop Revelstoke. Pale golden, low offwhite head. Straw malt and pleasant cookie dough notes, restained hops. Medium light creamy (yes really) body. Mellow finish. A few citric hops in this and it would be a really great little brew.

Draught at Tap & Barrel, Coal Harbour, Vancouver
Cloudy light amber color with creamy head. Quite delicate, with light honey impression; smooth and dry mouthfeel; less "creamy" than other cream ales though. Ordinary bitterness.
Clean, but a bit boring, like the style.

An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel, while the flavor plainly is sweet malty, with a dry end.

(Bottle 65 cl) Very pretty, clear amber with a vaguely off-white head. Aroma of malt and caramel. Very soft and smooth mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with fruity notes and some caramel malt. Lightly hoppy, dry finish. Not exactly a "big" beer, but incredibly pleasant. Thanks to presario for this. 010506
