Draught at Tap Beer Bar, Robertson Quay, Singapore. Poured a clear copper colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is nutty malt, woody, light floral hop. The flavour is moderate bitter light sweet with a dry grainy malt, light spice, light floral hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Cleanly made, not much unique about this one. Again, seems to be heavy on the cara malts. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

This ale poured a Amber colour with a nice, creamy off white head. Scents include cream, vanilla, malt and a little hop. First swig was quite watery with next to no creaminess at all. Flavours of hops and a little ripe fruit about the only thing worth mentioning. Finish is a little hoppy with a slight bitterness lingering with malt.

A hazed golden amber ale with a thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity caramel malt with light grassy floral hops, light and smooth. In mouth, a nice caramel malt with light nutty notes, light grassy hops, OK. Can from LCBO.

341mL capped bottled gifted by McBerko poured into Courage Imperial Stout tulip/snifter. Amber gold color. Its an actual non-hopcentric pale ale. Wow, I can’t remember when I had a beer of this style. Some honey malts, some unfermented wort, low hops. I really want this to be on cask and less carbonated. I am more excited by the semi-novelty more so than the beer.

Pours a clean light-amber colour with a nice frothy-creamy mild-beige head, good retention and lots of lacing all-around. Cereal grain nose with some rye-like notes, apples, hints of caramel and other fruity malts. The taste is more like fruity malts and some hops. Eventually, some grass and light burnt malts are felt in the aromas. Gets a little hazy at last pour. An alright ale, but lacking some balance.

Shared a pitcher of this in Vancouver last week. Has very little head and a copper body. Okay malts and light hop flavour, medium finish. Rather "meh" but it got the job done in a social setting.

Can from the LCBO. Clear deep amber with a one finger rocky off-white head that lingers. Nose is brown sugar and bread with just a hint of grass. Medium light caramel with only the lightest of bitter notes. Mouth is medium light and a tad thin with soft carbonation.
