aroma is bready, and slightly cardboard. Flavoru is sweet malt, and faint hops. I think it’s past it’s prime, but still drinkable. a decent beer.

Originally rated August 2006. Beautiful creamy off-white yellowish head that has great retention. The brew is clear copper in colour and has a good amount of active carbonation. Lacing is thick and patchy. The aromas are light with grainy malt and bittern hops hidden in the back. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel. The taste is also light, with some refreshing malt, apples in the middle and mild corn in the finish. Hop is also present as a flavour, but not in bitterness. I enjoyed this one as an easy-drinking cream ale... and like the description says, so did my girlfriend.

341 ml bottle from MrManning!!! Nose of light hay (hops?), and a caramel and a slightly "off" note; hazy copper with a small beige head; flavor is kind of fruity, vegetal, and slightly sour in an odd sort of way. It doesn’t taste anything like most blondes I had had!

Golden ale with a thick big bubbled head. Non descript light herbal malt aroma. In mouth, a lightly hoped ale with very little else, short in mouth, starting to be a bit off. LCBO in TO, courtesy of Karl.

Light copper colour. Spicy, toasty aroma. This character is subdued in the palate by an underfermented wortiness. Finishes off-dry. Bitterness is low. Uneventful generic amber/EPA.
