Hazy light amber colour. Musty, oxidized yeasty aroma. Musty, fairly yeasty flavour, too. Tastes old but would it ever have been decent...I doubt it. There are no hops, stale or otherwise and the malts and dull as dishwater. It’s a bit of a forsenic rating, so discard it if you wish, but I’ve seen good beer go bad and this isn’t it.

Draught at Black Creek / Renaissance Brewing. Thick pale amber appearance. Orangey/mangoish hop aroma. Vinous, sweet and lightly yeasty. Fruity with some warming orange liquer and some thick molasses. Long grassy, resiny bitter finish. Complex and very flavourful, but perhaps a bit unpolished in a few places.

Bottled. Clear burgundy with rich head. Strong grassy, buttery nose. Sweet and lightly roasty with nice, soft maltiness. Complex madeira like mature flavours. A laid back, gentle beer.

A hazy brown beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet nutty, but also with notes of prunes and over ripe fruits, while the flavor is like the aroma but with out the over ripe fruits.
