Draft - Malt and brown sugar. Clear copper with a thin head. Light raisins, brown sugar and a bit of yeast. Light and mild, very decent on a patio but a bit boring. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draft - Grapefruit hops and toasted malts. Clear amber with a thin white head. Hop forward red with resin and pine. Mild malt sweetness in the background. Nice but plain hoppy red. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Nice name, boring beer - no head and just the usual non-carbonated brown-gold body. Aroma is soft hops. Flavour does no justice to the name with only vague hops notes and a watery finish. Drinkable, but uninteresting.

Bottle - Some raisin and a mellow hoppy pine. Dark brown with a foamy but large brown head. Sweet fig, anise and piney hops with very little bitterness. Very odd, but this must be the lager, easy drinking and flavourful but not robust enough to hold my attention.

Very little head and an off-brown body. Weak watery aroma of barley. Flavour is swampy with wheatgrass notes. I really didn’t like this one, it was neither here nor there. There’s lots of better things going on for Craft Beer Week over this brew.

Poured from 341mL bottle. Slightly cloudy straw yellow colour with nice white head. Yeasty citrusy head, similar to a wit beer. Same taste. Nice body, but lacks finish.

Last one from their "Un-paralleled Mixed Pack" from the LCBO. Pours a brown colour with ruby highlights. The head is beige, frothy, medium, has good retention, but not much lacing. Decent nutty aromas with notes of roasted malts, caramel and light fruits. Watery mouthfeel and the taste seems to follow that way. A bit of malt, very lightly nutty and with hop that does not go the best with the rest. Goes down OK, with a good nose, but the rest is kind of deceiving.

650 ml bottle. Pours a very dark red.brown with large foamy head. Aromas of roasted malts, light smoke, and light pine hops. Flavors of light roasted malts, a hint of smoke, light pine, and light chocolate. Quite crisp and refreshing. Interesting when chilled. An appetizer.
