This pale ale poured a medium amber colour with a creamy, off white head. Nice lacing. Scents of corn, lightly toasted biscuit and a little honey. First swig was not bad. Flavours of toast, a little caramel and medium hops. Finish is lightly bitter with toasty malts and light hops lingering.

Clear gold with a rich white head. Light corn and grains. Touch of creamed corn and a light finish. Not great.

Vibrant amber colour, with just a slight bit of chill haze to it. Thin head. Quite toasty on the nose - part of that is clearly some stalish c-hop stuff, but there's got to be a light crystal malt accent in there as well. Either way, very old fashioned. On the palate, similar. Crystal malt to the fore, fairly low bitterness, maybe 25 ish. The hop character ends up being dry, which is something a more English-style pale would deliver, but the yeast is really clean. This type of beer works better with an English yeast, or alternatively, with brighter, punchier hops. I feel like this is well-made, clean, and as an amber totally reasonable. As a pale, however, it needs something a bit more.

Pale gold colour, bright, thin head. Grainy, creamed corn sort of aroma. Soft body, again quite grainy. Very low bitterness. Almost like non-alc. This is really weak, not offering much.

Can that pours a clean, light golden-yellow colour with a big white frothy head that fizzes away averagely and leaves some foamy lacing. Flavours and aromas of this one seem like a blend of cereal malts, but with lots of corn, and lighter spicy hops, found in their other beers. Getting some hints of berries in the nose. Fairly full body for a light beer. Not sure how I feel about this one. Good for a light lager, but not one I would go back to, as their Pilsner is so much better and refreshing.

473ml can. Pours a clear amber with a medium, foamy, long lasting, beige head that laces. Faint aroma of bready caramel malt, earth and floral hops. Sweet flavour of bready caramel malt, toffee, orange rind, herbal tea and floral hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Easy to drink. An ok EPA.

Pours a clean amber colour with a golden hue. The frothy head is light-beige with average retention and some foamy patches. Mild hoppy nose with caramel malts undertone, all nicely balanced with grainy cereal notes. The taste shows that cereal malt with a little spiciness from the hops. The mouthfeel seems dry enough. Nothing too complex, and not a new school Pale Ale with lots of hops sticking out. Just an easy-drinking old school Pale Ale, with a tad more hop.

Not sure if it’s the labeling, but I get a strong Rolling Rock vibe here, like Steam Whistle is a hopped-up version of Latrobe’s finest. Cereal grain sweetness meets floral bitterness meets funky, skunky mothball undertones. Not good, but drinkable when under duress.
