Milk, biscuit malt, and hay aroma. Golden yellow with small white head and mild effervescence. Mildly sweet creamy biscuit malt, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Okay body.

This ipa poured a crystal clear yellow colour with a bright white head. Scents include corn, perm solution and a little eggs. First swig was ultra thin with flavours of corn, light malt and water. Finish was very light with a little malt flavour lingering.

Originally rated August 2005. This beer is brewed under licencse by Sleeman Maritimes for a so-called Thistle Brewery in Alloa, Scotland. Found it new at the Beer Store in Ottawa, in the Value Brands section. Pours a pale golden colour with not much head, not much retention and no lacing. Also not found is carbonation. Starts off very boring. The nose is malty and the taste is smooth with a grain malt finish. The Beer Store also advertise this one as a lager. Don’t know if this is an error, or reality, and Sleeman is fucking with us. Anyways, quite decent for the price (when drank from the bottle), but boring as hell when poured into a glass. Recommended from the bottle as refreshing.

Traditional pale ale? This tastes like boiled down piss! Colour’s a touch lighter than that, though no less appealing,\. Aftertaste of stale lettuce..

A golden beer with a thick froathy white head. Pale ale my a**. Smells of corn adjunct. Light sulfur. In mout, lightly sweet mineral water. Can from LCBO. Enough said.

Canette 473ml (LCBO). De couleur jaune dorée et transparente. Nez de grains de malt pâle avec des notes de maïs sucré et fruitées (notes de pommes vertes) et des traces de houblon herbeux. Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et moyennement croustillant ainsi qu’une texture aqueuse. Goût de grains de malt pâle lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un léger goût sucré de maïs (quelques faibles traces de pain également présentes) ainsi que de faibles notes amères de houblon herbeux (foin) et des traces métalliques en finale. Post-goût très court comprenant des traces métalliques et de houblon herbeux.

Can: Poured a golden color ale with a huge foamy head with better then average retention. Aroma of light semi-sweet malt with no discernable hops presence. Taste is also dominated by somewhat refreshing semi-sweet malt. No noticeable extract or adjunct was noticeable which is already a good start from a somewhat shady brewer. Overall, I thought this was a refreshing beer but still lacking in character to make me want and seek this again.

Very pale with a bleached white head. Little aroma but maybe wheaty, lemony. Light body. Faint wheat note. Bland, with a quick, somewhat wet finish.
