Can from matt7215. Another exciting beer from this guy. Thanks again. Pours very dark amber with a 4-finger beige head. Aroma is darkly roasted malt. Medium body with frothy carbonation that laces. Flavor is nutty brown malt with some astringent hop. Don’t know that this is an APA. Seems more strong ale. Whatever. Finishes malty and bitter. Really, really tasty ale. IMHO, this is way underrated.

Brightish ruby tinted (fake - like grenadine) copper coloured body with a cola like tan head - interesting. Aroma of fresh malt, oatmeal, grass, pine and a lot of metal. Medium-bodied; Strong astringent and mediciney taste up front with a lot of hops and mostly malt following soon behind. Aftertaste shows more hops with a light toffee sweetness behind and a very mild alcoholic kick near the end. Overall, a decent beer - not the typical APA nor showing a lot of range, but it’s not a horrible beer to sample. I sampled this 473 mL can purchased at the LCBO in downtown Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on 08-April-2009, sampled at home in Washington on 12-May-2009.

courtesy of Andrew. can, pours deep copper/orange, light frothy head. Aroma is filled with malts and sweet hops. Taste, malty caramel with faint notes of hops light sigary notes of fruits. Overall mouthfeel is on the malt side with hops remaining well hidden. Light fruity presence, some citrus.

Dark brown with lots of red. Rich aroma of amber malts, plums, caramel, lots of dark fruit; slightly sherry-like. Clean, hoppy flavor with lots of fruity malt, apples, plums, a touch of citrus, and some caramel and molasses. Nicely hopped from beginning to end. Dry, hoppy, aromatic and bitter finish. Very nice. Rich malt, great hops. No problems here.

473 mL can from matt7215. Thanks Matt! Dark chocolate brown pour with medium head, good retention and lively carbonation. Moderately faint, nutty, roasted malt aroma with subtle leafy hop notes. Very malty taste... roasted malts, coffee, molasses and hops. Full bodied.

Dark burgundy-amber colour. Aroma of canned peaches, some caramel and tobacco. Light body. Some toffee notes, light smoke and earth. Esters of pear, golden plum. Interesting interpretation is nothing like a pale ale, but isn’t all that bad as a beer.

A dark amber with brown hues and a thick light moka head. Aroma is very nutty, caramel, fudge, very enticing. In mouth, a bit too much in your faces, but good nutty malt, with sweet coffee moka, and some burned toast bitterness. None of the hops expected, i guess its covered by the malts. A good brown ale, but this isnt an APA. However, still a good beer. Bought at LCBO.

This pale ale was a very dark orange colour with a nice white foamy head. To the nose you could smell scents of hopps, sweet malt and ripe fruit just to name a few. First taste was very smooth and malty with a hoppy finish and a somewhat bitter palate. A nice IPA.

Can: Poured a deep dark brown color ale with a big foamy head with good retention and some nice lacing. Aroma of dry malt with some medium notes of caramel malt. Taste is also dominated by some medium caramel malt with a slightly bitter ending. Hops presence was more subdued then what I had expected with some medium carbonation. Interesting but not necessarily something I would go back to very often.
