Nice beige foam and a semi-foggy copper body, the nose is all tin and floral caramel. Flavour is chewy biscuit and sweet malt. Mouthfeel is unremarkable and there's a caramelly aftertaste. Subpar for sure.

12 oz. can purchased at Total Wine & Liquor in Colorado Springs, CO. Pours a clear copper color with a large khaki nitro-like head and great retention. Good lacing. Strong caramel malt aroma. Sweet caramel malt flavor dominates. Clean and smooth. Low carbonation, medium body. Very Vienna lager-like. Repeatable and good.

On tap. Pours a clear copper with a thin, short lived, off-white head that leaves spotty lacing. Mild, sweet aroma of caramel malt and bread. Sweet flavour of caramel malt and bread with a mild, bitter grass finish. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Refreshing and boring.

Purchased a 4-pack of these in Regina, SK where alcohol seems much higher, and they had a price for the day, and one for the night. Anyways, pours a deep amber colour, clear, with a creamy warm beige head, good retention and lacing. Bread aromas from the malts mixed with the yeast, apple notes and light alcohol. The taste has roasty malts, fruitiness, caramel and a quick finish. Not bad, but more like a swill red ale.

They’ve really managed to perfect the taste of copper here, albeit with a touch of tin. Sour mash and gross consistency. Very cloying aftertaste. Can.

On tap. Pours an orange mahogany with light head. Almost no aroma. Tastes like a very watery Amber or Scottish.

Copper with white head. Neutral nose. Vague malt profile is more like sugar water with food colouring. Nothing here either bad or good

Draught at Oscar’s Pub, Vancouver
Dark amber color with small head. Very light aroma of caramel. Soft mouthfeel; some caramel flavor with light reissues sweetness, even more evident because of the very low bitterness.
Very simple, but drinkable. Inoffensive.
