Velvet Fog from Wild Rose Brewery

4.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 3 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 4
Very pale yellow. Quite cloudy. Fairly non-descript with a little wheaty tartness and very light but clean pale maltiness. Why do brewers make so many of these characterless beers?

Super light golden colour with a thin white head. Aroma of hops, pale malt and some sweetness. Medium-bodied; Astringent hoppiness with some floral tastes. Aftertaste clean and crisp. Overall, nice and fresh. I sampled this beer on 15-May-2004 at the May RB Party in Toronto, Onatrio.

Very pale colour. Aroma of slightly bready pale malts. Thin body. Empty grain husk taste. Bland. I was drinking a totally different beer than everyone else, but I know my pilsners and this is not good.

Blonde ale with a thick resilient white head. A nice grassy aroma with fresh malts. Big malt tatse with lots of german style hops, very sharp bitterness , almost harsh but still pleasant. Good balance of sweet/bitter. My fellow poker players also enjoyed quite well. Thanks to Presario!

Is a pale amber color with hints of raspberry and a dry grainy finish. Pretty much what I expected.

Was lacking cherry character and even though it did have a good roasted malt and chocolatey taste, I found the body a little watery which turned me off a touch.

Very dark burgundy. Cherry Coke aroma. Slightly tart body, with occasional dark malt notes. Thin. Not awful, and thankfully not cloying either. I like what the did with the fruit - tartness, hint of flavour, no sugars (despite the aroma). Were the base beer a little fuller this would be quite effective.

IPA from Wild Rose Brewery

2014 re-rate, draught @ National. Hazy amber-copper, thick head. Earthy, some yeast, light toasty malt, on the palate there’s decent bitterness, a touch of orchard fruitiness, maybe too much yeast but overall it’s just more of a throwback IPA, lacking the brightness of modern examples.

Original 2003 rate: Bright orangey-amber; curranty, leafy hop aroma, with blood orange and light toast. Fresh, fruity hop palate - apple, salmonberry, lime. Vibrant hoppiness, but understated toasty malts. Sweetish for style. 7-3-6-3-13 = 3.2

It is quite hoppy but also has a good amount of caramel malt and a smooth body to make it a well balanced IPA. Not as aggressive as PNW IPA, but the caramel malt add a freshing new twist.
