Unpleasant sour hops and corn aroma. Pale, piss yellow color. Sour malt and hops flavor - not as bad as it smells. Would be okay as your 7th or 8th beer of the night - just don’t make it your first.

Tap: clear dark brown colored beer with absolutely no head or carbonation. Aroma is very neutral with small traces of malts. Taste is also very neutral with traces of malts. Just another macro beer with no taste whatsoever. Very boring beer.

Swillfest ’04: Very light golden colour. Very grainy in both palate and aroma. Quite fizzy, which always bugs me.

Swillfest ’04: Light yellow. Aroma is non-existent. I wish the palate was, too. There are funky malt notes that just don’t make any sense at all. And the esters - tangerine, pineapple, peach. I don’t get those at all. Even in the sorry universe of low-carb beers, this is abysmal.

Swillfest ’04: Not sure what they mean by draft, as I’ve only seen it in bottles. I think because it’s unpasteurized...ha ha it’s practically zwickelbier! Grainy, carbonic. No body at all. Grassy aroma. Sweetish finish. A poor, poor effort.

I don’t think this is made in England anymore, but Molson has made it in Ontario since the ’60s. My grandfather used to drink this before he discovered Sam Adams. Copper-amber colour. Slightly papery, plasticy tasting. Then comes the caramel - quite a bit of it, and a slight mineral note. It isn’t English by a long shot, but for Molson it’s a good beer. For Molson.

Swillfest ’04: Sour aroma with grass and blackberries. Fizzy body obfuscates whatever flavours might have been there - grains I guess. Lousy, even by swill standards.

Swillfest ’04: Pale. Aroma stings with highly inappropriate phenols. Grainy palate thankfully shows no sign of them. Slightly tart finish. A non-event after that disgusting aroma.

Pale straw golden coloured body with a thin soapy white head. Not good looking at all. Mild metal/skunky aroma with not much else. Light malt flavour with some mild fruit, but really nothing else than cardboard. Aftertaste is nothing as well-just leaving a bad taste in the mouth and a toonie and loonie behind. Overall, not a great beer-just as expected-but since they don't sell it in the states, I had to indulge myself for a few seconds. I sampled this from a 12 ounce bottle at some small bar in Toronto, Ontario when visiting the city on 09-April-2004.

Amber ale with a bland nose. Sweet malts without too much hops. Some fake caramel taste comes out...a sweeteed EX with some coulouring.
