    Brewed under license in Canada
    The beer poured a translucent light gold colour with a huge generous bubbly white head that disappeared in a flash. The aroma was typical for a cheap mass produced pale lager with hints of vomit, rusted metal, and grains. The mouthfeel was medium to thin bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was again typical of mass produced pale lagers in that there was very little that wasn't revolting (acidic, grainly, slightly sweet).

    The beer poured a translucent brown colour with a thin tan head that quickly fades to a ring. The aroma is roasted malt, coffee, and floral hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour is roasted malt, grain, and some bitter hops in the end.

    The beer was a solid ruby red, with a light brown foamy cap. The aroma was roasted malt, cherry, and floral hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was dark malt, coffee, and cherry. Very drinkable.

    The beer poured a translucent copper colour with a thin creamy tan coloured head. The aroma was grainy malt, caramel, and floral hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour is slightly sweet, grainy, with a bitter finish. Tastes very similar to an Oktoberfest.

    The beer poured a translucent amber colour with a white bubbly head. The aroma was citrus hops, grainy malt, and light fruit tones. The mouthfeel was light to medium bodied with mild carbonation. The flavour was citrus, grains, and some yeast. Very refreshing and drinkable.

    Originally rated as Beau's All Natural Night Märzen Oktoberfest
    The beer poured a beautiful translucent cherry red, with a thin white head. The aroma is grainy malt, light fruit, caramel, and weak floral hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was a perfect balance between the malty sweetness and the hoppy bitterness. Easy to drink!

    9.1% ABV
    I don't know if I didn't 'get' this or what. I was far from impressed (bottle was dated August 2010). It was good, but not great. My first true disappointment. I tried this beer on December 22, 2010 at "Bar Volo" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a hazy golden orange in a tulip glass with a half inch tan head and quite a bit of effervescence. The aroma was pine, citrus hops, and some sweet malt hints. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was weak malt, heavy grapefruity hops, but not very well balanced
