Nov 17, 2023 (7/3/7/3/15=3.5): Poured from the tap @ Spinnakers. Clear light copper with small white head. Very malty forward, resinous hops, lacks depth, but okay. April 24, 2014 (7/3/7/3/15=3.5): Poured from 650mL bottle. Auburn brown with off-white head. Quite malty, hops are quite dry. Nice balance, not too hoppy, alcohol is hidden.

650mL bottle, pours a dark mahogany with a small off-white head. Aroma is very sweet and malty, with candied sweetness, resinous hops and wood chips. Flavour thankfully isn't as sweet, with lots of English malts coming out in a dry way, with bready biscuity notes, resinous hops, and wood. Really well-balanced, dry and malty. Surprisingly great.

Light amber- brown and hazy. Aroma is floral and a touch piney dry hopping. Has a lot of bitterness, a hoppy amber more than anything, drinkable. Good sesh ale.

Red-tinged med brown. The aroma is malty, mostly nutty, rather like a rich, strongish brown ale. Fairly big body, malty, woody, nutty palate with a touch of earthy bitterness. Not a bad beer, actually, just think of it as a nice brown ale.

650mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma of dry cocoa and metallic notes. Flavour brings out cocoa notes, vanilla, and some metallic notes. Thin, but nicely flavoured. It's okay.

Bottle from Central City Liquor Store, Surrey
Hazy deep blond color, with medium sized compact head. Delicate aroma of malt, with a hint of hay. Smooth mouthfeel, with easy malt flavor, a touch of metallic grass and very light biscuity trace; correct bitterness.
Easy beer but pleasant and thirstquenching.
