I tried this beer on October 3, 2008 at “Smokeless Joe’s” in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a translucent gold, with almost a thin white head. The aroma was all grainy malt with a hint of hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was very grassy…all malt, very little hops. I tried a mouthfeel of this during the Olympics and was quite surprised at how bad it was. Having a full bottle reminds me that there’s nothing here to threaten the craft beer industry.

The beer poured a translucent pale yellow colour with a very generous white bubbly head that quickly disappeared. The aroma was weakly grainy malt with no other noticable odours. The mouthfeel was weak-bodied, watery, with a lot of carbonation. The flavour was pretty skunky, with an acidic bitterness and not much else. The beer went down faster than a glass of orange Kool-Aid.

The beer poured a dark brown colour, with a thin light brown head which lasted throughout. The aroma was caramel malt, burnt sugar, some peppery spice, and anise. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, medium carbonated, and had a sharpness on the side of the tongue. The flavour was very sweet with hints of raw maple sugar, dark caramel malts, and some apples and pears. An excellent beer despite when the sweetness is considered.

The beer poured a translucent medium gold colour with a thin white head that quickly reduced to a ring. The aroma was primarily grainy malt with a thin hopy wisp. The mouthfeel was thin bodied, highly carbonated, yet not watery. The flavour was grassy with some 'burnt' bitterness on the sides of the tongue.
