For our signature pale ale we use only our pale malted barley, with a small amount of malted wheat. A few degrees hoppier than the ESB, again using North American and English varieties, with emphasis on English Goldings in the finish. Hard water to emulate the great brewing centre of Burton on Trent, the birthplace of pale ale.

Bottle from the source. Pours a deep golden color with a smallish off white head that shows marginal retention. Aromas of toffee and caramel with hints of earthy citrus. The flavor follows the aroma and adds a bit more of that butterscotch that beer geeks up here seem to like. Medium body and level of carbonation. English inspired, okay brew.

On tap at Propeller in Halifax. Pours out golden/straw topped with a small white head. Aroma was of biscuit, light hop, and a touch of grass. Taste was much as the aroma bit with a little brown sugar and caramel sweetness.

Originally rated April 2005. Thanks to Robert Mayr for this big 650ml brown bottle of pale ale, straight from Nova Scotia. Pours a light golden-amber colour with a nice big tanned head. Retention is quite good for a pale ale, and lacing is great. Carbonation is minimal. The scent is fresh with malt and samples of honey. The mouthfeel is dry and smooth. Taste of hoppy bitterness with a bread finish. Excellent refreshing session brew... can’t wait to taste their porter.

Bottle. Clear pale golden color with a average fizzy fair lacing mostly lasting white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, light hoppy, some notes of fruit. Flavor is moderate sweet and light bitter with a short to average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

Bottle: Poured a golden color ale with huge white bubbly head with average retention. Aroma of hops is clearly identifiable. Taste is quite sweet with a good floral undertone and nice bitter finish. Body is average as well as carbonation. Better then expected I must admit and very close to an APA.

A very thin head which disapeared quickly with a fresh malt nose. The bitterness is very discrete, with malt and a chalky mouthfeel is noticed. The beer may be better fresh out of the brewery as I had a little bit of a cardboard taste remaining.
