Dull light brown, sweet caramel aroma and taste. Bland, and the sweetness is a bit challenging. Not great but there are many worse, sweet, less balanced examples.

Light chestnut colour. Aroma is ok, some caramel and a hint of earthy hop. Flavour is mainly bland, sweet caramel...a lot like Rickard’s really. No nuance, but lots of adjunct to make the finish cloying and undrinkable. One pint and I had to switch. To Kokanee. Now that’s good drinking. Massive downgrade.

Sweetish, with toasty, nutty, chocolatey notes. It's made as a regional brand by Labatt's, and because of that I don't think it gets quite the credit it deserves. It is a decent schwarzbier.

Pale straw, sweet creamed corn and grain character. Not a ton of hop but search hard enough and you’ll find a touch. Sweet, but there’s worse. And I’ll note that it is pretty clean.
