Dark brown color, compact head. Aroma and flavor play too much with the roastiness, hiding the caramel notes, and getting into a dusty/ashy final.
Not saying is bad. But this is not an Altbier. Not a beer I would drink again either.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a clear copper orange with a small white head. Nose is very restrained, with toasted bready malts characterizing this. Flavour is along the same lines, but with a rather metallic astringency on the finish. Something seems slightly off here. Simple and clean enough, but not the most pleasant of flavours. Meh.

On tap at 12 Kings, pours a hazy orange with a small white head. Nose brings out notes of herbal and grassy hops. Flavour follows accordingly, with loads of herbal and grassy hops. There is also a very floral quality to this on the finish. Very herbaceous and floral. Good but uninteresting.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Golden color, hazy, with compact head. The malt has a very good bready, cereally character; it’s not too dry, but the high carbonation hides the sugars; delicate hops with a grassy touch. A bit of honey; more bread in the final.
Very good, for a style that rarely provides good samples.

Cloudy dark blond to light amber color. Pale Ale with non descriptive malt profile and non descriptive hop profile; the malt and yeast give a paper flavor impression, some vegetables, grass, mild hop resins.
A simple Pale Ale, hardly interesting.
