Found in a can somewhere in Canada. Dark gold body, some carbonation, small but solid head. Aroma is dirty armpits, rotten hops, lots of those foul macro-lager smells you’ve learned to hate. The flavour is a barely detectable mix of grains with a slight hop finish. This ain’t no "abbey" beer but rather a very soft macro-style version of something English that you wish you were in England to actually buy. You can do better, at any local liquor store.

Cask at GBBF. It pours amber, with a thin foamy white head. The nose is sweet pear, red apple, melon, dust and toffee. The taste is toffee apple, caramelised banana, wood, leather, green vegetables, herbs and alcohol warmth, with a short bitter finish. Low carbonation and medium body. Not good at all.

Nutty brown colour. Toffee and dark fruits on the nose. Chewy and a little bit sticky with more toffee and dark fruits. Would make a nice cask ale.
