Originally rated May 2004. True North Cream Ale is golden coloured (almost amber), has a good amount of carbonation, and a head that doesn’t last long. I can taste hints of rasberries, with a slight bitter aftertaste. I prefer this cream ale to Sleeman’s.

Originally rated May 2004 (when it was simply called "True North Lager" and there was a big white bear on the case. Poured a golden colour to create a quick lasting head. Lots of carbonation, and a sweet malt nose. Light flavour with a slight bitter finish. Refreshing.

Originally rated May 2004. A copper-red colour with a beige bubbly head. I don’t know if it’s a bad batch, but I see hardly any carbonation. It has a sweet smell going on the bitter side. I know it is blasphemy, but this beer is actually much better drank from the bottle.

Originally rated April 2005. This Ontario altbier pours a brown-amber colour with some decent lacing. Smells the roasted malts and a nice bouquet of purfum. Very light carbonation. The taste is malty with caramel and is also nutty. Slight bitterness in the middle. Creamy moutheel and smooth aftertaste. Good product from Magnotta Brewery, just like their IPA.

A hazed amber ale with a thin white head. In aroma, a nice caramel malt with nice British hops, light treacle, some vinous and burned caramel notes. In mouth, a smooth caramel malt with light British hops, some nice effect from maderization, a bit thin in finale (bottle is about a year old).

A copper alt with a thin off white head. Sweetish sugar malt aroma, almost like light acidic seven up points. In mouth, a nutty grassy malt with light torrefied notes, herbal, light hopping, not bad. Hadn’t had this in a long time.

A hazed golden IPA with a thin white head. A light caramel aroma with light floral hops. In mouth, a more interesting IPA with nice floral hops, light grapefruits, some biscuitty malts, some lingering bitterness, quite quaffable. A good introductory IPA from Ontario.

Bottle from matt7215. Heck of a generous trader. Pours clear coppery orange with just a few bubbles. Aromas of apple and light spice. Full bodied with virtually no carbonation. Flavor is sweet, quickly going to apple skin and a bit of sour/wood/acidity. Then some interesting strange spice flavor erupts. Gets towards peppery. An incredible taste experience. Finishes sweet passing to not so sweet. Again and again.

2001 bottle. Uploaded info and sent in a picture. Pours with a burnt copper body and good, firm alcohol legs. Aroma of baked apples with cinnamon, light must, all spice, brown sugar and a decent amount of alcohol. Taste is thick and sweet with cinnamon, nutmeg and all-spiced flavor baked apple. Right near La Face levels of taste and mouthfeel, possibly even better than the regular Pomme Neige. Mouthfeel is thick, syrupy and mouthcoating with a slight hint of effervescence. Worth every bit of the $30 for a 375ml when compared to the La Face ciders.
