The Yukon’s number one selling draught (yes, including the mega-breweries), this ale was designed to be an almost “non-ale”. It is golden in colour, brilliantly clear, and clean across the palate. The mix of 5 malts still provides subtle character in the body, and the addition of malted wheat provides a slight, but characteristic citrusy finish.

Hopped with noble Saaz, Sterling and UK Golding, the bitter is barely perceptible, but mild hop flavours linger in the after-taste; the dry, clean finish provides a refreshing perk at the back of the palate. The full package mimics the classic milds of the British Isles, with a bit of Yukon spirit, just to make sure you remember what part of the world it’s from!

Typical canadian golden ale. Tastes of barely anything. Slight grains, next to no hops. Regular mouth feel and carb. The finish is barly a notch above water, slight sweet malts, no hops. Good god, this was boring.

They bill this as an English pale ale. Dark golden pour without much head. Cloying lime finish. Not a great drink. Can.

341ml bottle. Pours a clear amber-orange with a small, creamy, long lasting, off-white head that laces. Sweet aroma of toasted grainy malt, toffee and floral hops. Sweet flavour of toasted biscuit malt, toffee, orange and light grassy hops in a clean, dry finish. Light body with a thin, watery texture and soft carbonation. Malt forward. Meh.

Tasting at Matt’s, can
Hazy light amber color with compact head. Easy Ale, but clean and delicate, some light malts, almost no bitterness, light fruity esters.

330mL can, pours a hazy amber orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out skunky grassy notes and light toasted biscuity malt. Flavour brings out sweet cereal malt, a little grass and toasted biscuity malt. Finishes with lightly sweet cereal malt and straw. Meh.

Bouteille. Nez malté de miel et de beurre de caramel doux avec des notes d’agrumes et de houblon très fin. Mince en bouche. Goût légèrement fruité (agrumes, pêche) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût de caramel très doux, légèrement mielleux puis finalement une légère amertume de houblon herbeux se rajoute. Arrière-goût court et sec très légèrement amère de houblon. [notes 2005]

Written "English Pale Ale" in small on top of front label ?? Pours a clean golden-amber colour with an off-white head, decent retention and a little lace. Malty nose with some hay notes and mild grass. The taste is also on the grainy malt side with again the grassy hops. Both of these are not really well balanced. Something off. Do I taste corn as well ? Not really an English Pale Ale. Not one I would try again.
