[1] Review by pootz from between Calgary and Waterloo, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (4/25/2006 5:15:28 PM)
"Bottle from the Sparwood liquor store....poured a light golden ale in the glass...1 finger white rocky cap from a hard pour...weak head retention..light lace on glass. Aroma of sweet malt dextrins but there is a nice piney hop aroma as well. Modest body, light liquid mouth feel. Bready malt up front then the ample Willamette hops balance it..quick sharp finish with a slight fruity tone and a light, lingering metallic after taste...this is weird one to classify is it a cream ale? a golden ale? it has characteristics of both but it is very drinkable...I would classify it as a decent golden session ale from a Pacific NW brewer most think of as a Labatt clone.
