473ml can from the LCBO.
Dark golden pour, nice frothy head. Aroma is dominated by a sweet bready malt. Flavour is more of the same, a nice sweet brerady malt that is trailed by a slight vanilla flavour. Mouthfeel is full, and creamy. A decent beer, not too bad. Nothing fancy or complicated, but well done.

This "tartan" ??? Poured a light yellow colour with a minimal white head. No lacing. Scents include corn, light hops and mineral water. First swig was quite watery with a thin mouthfeel. Flavours of corn and a little hops, with tiny bit of smoke in the background. Finish is thin with a little honey/malt flavour lingering...

Really not bad at all. Great patio beer for the hot sun. Pours clear golden with fizzy head and not much lacing. No unpleasant,finish, pretty nice and crisp with a touch of candied malt. Tall can.

Originally rated July 2008. Purchased at the LCBO, in a 473ml can. Says brewed for Midland Beer Works by Hockley Valley Brewing Co. Pours a clear golden colour with a white head that disappears fast enough and leaves a few spots on the glass. The nose is pretty decent, with some grain and bread. I quite like the aromas for such a swill. The taste is mild, with a mix of grain malts and corn (but not overpowering). Not much hop found in this one, and mouthfeel is smooth and creamy. Very nice ale, to introduce to people who just like Molson Canadian and other swills like it.

Can: Poured a deep golden color ale with a large foamy head with low retention and no lacing. Aroma consists of pure malt with some medium sweetness. Taste is also dominated by some pure malt taste with some light sweet and floral notes. Full body for the style with some good carbonation and no discernable alcohol. Not overly complex but very refreshing for those (very few) hot summer days.

473 ml can from LCBO, served cold in a pint. Golden ale with a thick white head. Aroma of biscuit, corn adjunct, and light sulfur. In mouth, a sweetish ale with sweet cream corn, a bit perfumy, not hoppy, light metallic notes in finish. Not crazy about this.
