650mL bottle, pours a mostly clear copper / amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of light bourbon and vanilla upfront with some mild fruity notes underneath. Flavour is very light considering what this is supposed (?) to be - light vanilla and bourbon notes dominate, with I guess some fruity and floral hop notes underneath. Booze is no where to be detected, with only some extremely subtle bourbon and vanilla notes to linger. Tastes like a standard 5% pale ale with barely a detection of the barrel aging. Boring but drinkable and not offensive.

Black color; generous creamy head. A rich chocolate beer, with some good hopping appearing on surface, well bitter too. Good.

Black color; beige creamy head. Aroma of... nothing. Some caramel flavor, light residual sweetness, some dark malts, and light spices; correct bitterness. It reminds me of English Ales, but nothing exciting.
I didn’t notice I had missed this one for a few years.

Hazy amber. Thin head. The aroma is earthy goldings and sticky caramel malts. Medium-bodied. Sticky, and it tastes a bit like Fuller’s yeast. More earthy hops in the finish. Good brew - crisp and balanced.

Medium brown. Woody hop character and light dark malts. Thin and a bit husky with harsh hops and some toasty hop character. Not coming together all that well.

Dark brown. The aroma has is nutty and coffeeish. The taste is strongly coffeeish, smooth and balanced by ample sweet malts. A well-balanced example.

Sampled at 7.7c/45.5f. Bomber bottle found in the fine fighting city of Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. Pours a beautiful gold-copper with just a hint of carbonation and a decent head. Soft aroma of brown sugar and hops. Flavour is orange and hops; lots of citrus and fruitiness on this one. Okay palate. Nice taste, highly drinkable, a good choice if you’re in the area but please don’t fly out to Surrey just to try it.

Hazy pale blond color. Mild, breadish aroma. Sweetish and smooth mouthfeel in the front, drier and lightly nutty in the end; low bitterness. Bland and boring.
