Hazy, amber, with a thick head. The aroma is earthy, slightly cheesy hops, a dash of caramel and rich whole grain breadcrust. Mostly chewy character, moderate bitterness. So lots of rye character, but overall it makes for a pretty chewy beer.

Can from the LCBO. Pours a hazy deep amber with a generous pillowy off white head that quickly fades but leaves some nice lace. Nose is roasted malts, grain and caramel backed by some grass and earth. Rye malt provides a nice subdued level of sweetness that is a good base for a great level of hop bitterness through to a long dry finish. Mouth is medium and slick with average carbonation.

Can: Poured a light clear amber color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and limited lacing. Aroma of light piney hoppy notes with light spicy rye notes. Taste is also dominated by light piney hoppy notes with dry rye note with light grainy notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. OK but there is really nothing memorable here.

Single can from the LCBO. Pours a clean deep amber colour with a big warm cap, great retention and lots of fluffy thick and creamy lace. Rye malt nose with some spices and hints of farm smell. Medium-bodied with a slick mouthfeel. The taste is well-balanced between the hoppy bitterness of grass and the roasted-nutty malts. Their third brew and the best so far. A very nice roasted rye pale ale.

This one poured a deep amber colour with a creamy/foamy, off white head. Scents include citrus, spruce, bread and spice. First swig was quite creamy with a load of medium level of IBU’s. Flavours of spruce hops and a little caramel are most predominant. Finish is quite bitter with flavours of spruce lingering.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Blond color, clean, with compact head. Dry, lean, with malt flavor, some hay, and some grassy hops; the bitterness is above the average; the aroma is too simple.
Not too bad.
