This brewery, damn they would rock if they could slam down some consistent high quality across the lineup. This is one of the much better offerings. This is like a spring or fall cold day beer to have with some cold chicken, pickles, and sandwiches in the afternoon. Pours a watered down syrup, orangy, with a really strange head. The carbonation is fun, like san pelligrino or perrier; maybe a little less so. The flavour seems quite sweet, tasting of apricots and light flowery citrus, maybe like lemon balm or lemon thyme even. Maybe even sweet basil.... nope. But there is somthing green leafy and plant like. Really dig it, quick to drink, thin to medium body but well suited. Yup

pours a nice cloudy apricot color with a creamy white head. smells of hops and fruity/floral. taste of hops (nice bitterness... if it was a bit more be even better) and a slight taste of citrus... slighty bubbly on the mouthfeel. after drinking a mouthfeel leaves the mouth incredibly dry. (or could be the fact that i was just eating Ms. Vickies Salt and Vinegar chips!) diffently a good brew... and imma try it again!! :)

Nice dark apricot colour and big Viagra induced head with really nice sticky lace...er...lacing. Something Twilight Zone like happened in my glass when the beer started cascading and oscillating dark diamonds which moved upwards to the top of the glass - freaking amazing - had to be the glass and lighting set up or an acid flashback - go with the latter. Crisp hoppy aroma with a bit of sweetness noted. Sweet lemon (background) and light malts complimented the excellent tasty bitter hops very well - not at all watery. Killer mouth feel. Nice and bitter! Excellent beer. Get someone in western Canada to ship this to you.

This poured a cloudy but well-carbonated coppery orange colour, with a smallish, foamy white head. Not much nose with this one, maybe a little hop but it was hard to detect. Taste was pretty good, lots of hopped bitterness, one of the best ESB's I've had in some time. Mouthfeel was not spectacular but I'd drink this again anytime.

This is my first crack at the Tin Whistle brand and it was ok. The brew poured a browny yellow very little head in my glass but lots in Beerchronics, I got hosed I guess but its his beer so I won't complain. The sent was hard to detect but what could be detected was of freshly cut wet wood and lemon. The taste was very bitter but since I was drinking a bitter go figure. I noticed a lemony malt at the back of my tung taking some edge away from the bitterness. As the beer warmed it got more mellow and less intense, went down smooth. Five minuets after finishing the brew my lips still taste bitter, oh well on to the next one.

Purchased a 650ml bomber from Willow park. The pour revealed a amber-orange ale with a great sticky, long lasting cap. Floral-fruity aroma; sweet malts and a twang of citrus in the nose. Medium bodied, mellow...huge malts and lovely citrus-pine hops...moderately mild bitterness in the finish...a very malty and nicely hopped ale...not what I would consider a proper ESB but a very drinkable ale....very drinkable...possiblt TOO drinkable IYKWIM...one of the best BC domestics I have tasted.
