Bottle my non-beer geek family members raved about it. The aroma is citrus and grainy caramel malts. Nice full body & silky smooth. The taste is a lightly citrus zest & mild caramel with some breadiness. A very clean English style pale ale. A well made beer but not outstandinfg or anything.

A golden ale with a thick mocha head. In aroma, a sweet oxidized malt with honey, old and tired. In mouth, a sweet honey with musty notes, light bitterness, a bit tired.

This Pale ale poured a nice dark amber colour with a quick living, off white, rocky head. From a bottle purchased from the brewery, To the nose there are scents of caramel, coffee, roasted malts and a little smoke. First sip was smooth with a good douse of roasted flavour. Other flavours of caramel, juniper/ spruce and smoke are at the forefront. Finish is bitter with roasted caramel flavours lasting

Hazy amber ale with a thin creamy off white head. Light english hops in aroma, with notes of caramel. In mouth, however, the hops are very present, in your face, with a very woody character, followed by sweet caramel, and lingering bitterness. A nice EPA. Used to drink this in Guelph, in 92-93, and they havent lost their touch.

Toasty, dry, lightly caramelly and well-balanced. The toastiness is a yeast effect which is especially evident if you are lucky enough to find this beer on cask.
