Aroma of mildly spiced hops and malt. Light body with flavors of grainy malt and yeast and a hint of hops. The finish is short and malty. Below average overall.

Sample at the Strange Brew Tasting on 02/18/2012. This beer is a clear orange-gold color with a medium thick and fluffy off-white head that dissipates slowly. Sticky rings of lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of butterscotch and malt. Light body with flavors of buttery malt, honey and some off fruit. The finish is short with a malt aftertaste. Slightly below average overall.

Originally rated August 2007. Purchased on my last trip to Toronto. Pours a clean dark amber colour with a foamy beige head that leaves decent lacing, and a nice coat on the brew. Very well carbonated. The nose is pretty hoppy with small malt undertones. Watery mouthfeel with a little stickiness to it. The taste is not as pronounced as I would of expected, but the hop is clearly present with a some malt that is refreshing like apples and caramel. Very light though. An average amber ale, laking a bit of punch for a micro.

Originally reviewed in 2007, but now, I got another bottle in one of those Ontario Brewer tester 6-pack. Pours a golden colour with a slight haziness to it. Decent carbonation with a small white head, not much retention, but a little lacing. Nice grainy biscuit and sweet malt scent. The mouthfeel is much better than before, being refreshing because it is not as thick. The taste is quite mild though with cereal malt. The grain used in this one reminds me of the grain used in the Steam Whistle pilsner, but SW is much better with more hops and taste overall. After breathing a bit, I smell notes of pears. Not a bad easy-drinking Canadian-made pilsner, but nothing too exciting.

Thihs pils poured a light yellow colour with a big brite white foamy head. To the nose there was scents of corn, light vinegar scent and yeast. First sip was nicely carbonated but a little thin on the palate. First taste to come along was corn and it lingered for quite a while. Very watery beer lacking in flavour. The palate had this creamed corn flavour that other than, there was nothing.

Super clear golden coloured body with a medium-sized soapy white head. Aroma of a bit of fruits, some hops and a fair amount of wheat. Light-bodied; Sweet initial taste with some hops and wheat also noticeable. Aftertaste mild and citrusey, showing just about nothing. Overall, a decent beer-nothing going on at all. I bought this 65 cL bottle at the LCBO on Queen’s Quay in Toronto, Canada and sampled it on 26-May-2004.

This amber poured a crystal clear, deep amber colour with a creamy off white head. Decent lacing. Originally rated in 2004 and I thought very good of it. Scents include light vinegar at first, little brown sugar, hint of apple and ethanol? First swig was thin, quite malty with other flavours of nuts and hay? Finish is malty. Not near as good as originally stated.
