The beer poured a translucent medium gold with a huge bubbly white head which quickly disappeared. The aroma was grassy malt and weak floral hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was grainy malt, some weak hops, and a bitter metallic finish - but the flavour was certainly better than a lot of 'non-light' pale lagers in North America. -

The beer poured a translucent pale gold with a short lived bubbly head, and mild effervescence. The aroma was floral hops, and weak light fruit. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with mild carbonation. The flavour was stale and sour, almost had the taste of a musky cider. Not a beer I would recommend to people who can have gluten. -

The beer poured a very dark brown with a thick light brown bubbly head. The aroma was roasted malt, coffee, and molasses. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was sweet, but not too sweet, lots of roasted malt, some chocolate, and a bitter finish. A great beer. -

The beer poured a cloudy golden orange colour with a bubbly snow white head (and as a Canadian - I've seen a LOT of snow). The aroma was jasmine, some perfumey hops, and cereal malt. The mouthfeel is weak to medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour is grainy malt, soap, and a weak hoppish hint followed by a weak bitter finish. A new brewer to add to my conquests, but this beer did not wow me!
