A middling mild ale. More taste than the big commercial ales, but nothing noteworthy. Grain, touches of honey, sweet malt, citrus and some herbal aftertaste.

Can from the brewery. Copper pour with a small white head. Aroma is sweet, and grassy. Some wet paper, sugary medium toasted cereals, and some grassy hops. Nice body, soft carb. Finish is again sweet and quite heavy on the cereals. Meh.

Clean golden-amber colour with a white frothy cap, decent stay and a little foamy lacing, but mostly on the brew (not the glass). Malty-fruity nose with some cereal grains that do come out to shift to better, and then... a mild grassy-hop touch. The taste is malty as well, with some fruitiness and the hops that do cut the sweetness, richness in the finish. Easy-going, crisp Canadian Ale that is malty, fruity and lightly hoppy.

Cereal olfactory with notes of French toast and some herbaceous hops with a somewhat vegetal impression. The liquid is deep golden pulling on the amber. It is perfectly clear and develops a small foam that barely holds. The taste is cereal, a little sweet, with honeyed notes. There is also a slight fruitiness. The bitterness is medium and represented by herbaceous and resinous hops that make it drag at the end of the mouth. The body is moderately light and the carbonation quite vivid. Basic beer with good bitterness and tasty enough to be interesting. But it remains a basic beer. Olfactif céréalier avec des notes de pain doré et quelques houblons herbacés et une impression quelque peu végétale. Le liquide est doré profond tirant sur l’ambré. Il est parfaitement limpide et développe une petite mousse qui tient à peine. Le gout est céréalier, un peu sucré, avec des notes miellées. On dénote également un léger fruité. L’amertume est moyenne et représentée par des houblons herbacés et résineux qui la font trainer en fin de bouche. Le corps est moyennement léger et la carbonatation assez vive. Bière de base avec une bonne amertume et assez gouteuse pour être intéressante. Mais ça reste une bière de base. A:5.783 A:2.889 T:6.924 B:4.035 O:12.761 T:32.392

Tap at The Merchant Tap, Kingston. Amber colour, small white head. Light fruity aroma. Light to medium-bodied. Flavour is quite neutral and clean. Some fruits, pale malts, low on bitterness. Easy.
