Re-rate December 2019, about 6.5 years after the last and this time at the source out on the edge of Chilliwack. The aroma is somewhat bright chewy barley, has okay dark brown body with modest foam. Flavour is brightish barley, chunky chocolate hints. Dry mouthfeel. Not bad, drinkable. December 13, 2019: 6/3/7/3/13 Old rating: Pretty cool that D.O.A. finally has a beer named after them! Has a good bright brown head and a nice dark rye-amber foggy body. Lots of bread, pumpernickel and dark grains, on the nose with a hint of water. Flavour is a great mix of bread notes with a dry hoppy finish. Brown ales often taste like watery mud to me, but this one shines. Well done. May 30, 2013: 6/4/7/4/14

Nez de houblon citrique (pamplemousse), floral et légèrement herbeux, malté de caramel sucré aux notes terreuses avec des notes de butterscotch et de fruits (agrumes sucrées, traces de pêches). Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture huileuse. Goût moyennement amer de houblon floral, citrique (pamplemousse), légèrement terreux et aux petites notes résineuses (une amertume qui dure toute la gorgée) avec un léger goût fruité sucré (agrumes sucrées, petites notes de pêches) et épicées (poivre doux) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté de caramel moyennement sucré avec léger de butterscotch et de de miel puis en finale l’on retrouve une amertume de houblon légèrement plus sèche, plus résineuse et aux notes herbeuses. Post-goût long et légèrement sec, moyennement amer de houblon floral, citrique aux notes résineuses et herbeuses avec un léger goût fruité (zeste d’agrumes). (2006)

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel as well as lighter notes of hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and fruit - primarily peaches, and dusty and citrusy hops, leading to a dry and bitter finish.

Hazy deep blond color. The aroma is light, corny, stale, grassy. The Pilsner flavor is totally missing, instead there is a light sourness (infection). Low bitterness. This beer is off. Pilsner only in the name.
