The beer pours a translucent dark amber colour with a thin tad head. Aroma is sweet malt, molasses, and grains. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is on the sweet malt with dark fruit, molasses, and grains.

Pours a foamy off white head and has an amber appearance but is still quite clear. Mild and light roasted malt aromas, wheats, grains and earthy hops. Flavours are mainly dark roasted malts. Very light toffee and caramel hints. Wet mouthfeel. Light tingling sensation. Pretty good.

Bottle - Puts a clear copper ale in the glass with a 1 finger cap that goes to a surface lace, but does modestly lace the glass. Aroma has a bit of burnt caramel and some grassy tones. Silky mouth feel, medium bodied. Flavour has some nice maltiness in front the hopping is in a support role here so there are some pleasant malt-hop combination tastes, toasty caramel, hints of licorice, boiled apple butter - goes to a clean malt forward finish with the hops giving a light tang in the end. Great choice of malts , important in an amber. Quite drinkable and flavourful for a commercial craft ale, I was surprised.

There's really not much to say about this one, other than the fact it's kind of weak and bland, but drinkable. Would make for a good lawn chair beer.

From the LCBO, in the BC Craft Brewers Guild Natural Selections 6-pack. Pours a clean deep amber colour with a nice warm frothy head, great retention and patchy lacing. Cereal nose with some oats and hints of chocolate and spices, hops. The taste is milder, on the malty cereal side as well, with some light soapy hops and again, these chocolate notes (which I have no idea where it comes from, but chocolate malts in an amber ??). Quite interesting, different amber ale, worth trying.
