341ml bottle <br> 5.0% ABV <br> Bottling Date: Unknown<br> The Bookshelf Café (Guelph, Ontario, Canada)<br> June 8, 1991<br> $1.85<br> The first time I tried this beer, it was the only beer in the house. It wasn't that great. The second time I tried this beer, it was because I was a summer student with the brewery. It still wasn't that great. The company's flagship brand and liked by many of my friends, just not my glass of brew. I have to admit, the clear bottle is a very nice touch. The beer pours a light yellow colour (so the bottle isn't hiding anything) with a minimal head. The aroma is thick and hoppy, maybe too hoppy. This beer has way too much carbonation and is harsh on the cheeks. The taste is a mishmash of varying degrees..slightly malty, slightly grassy, slightly awful.

The aroma is grassy malt, noble hops, yeast, and a hint of caramel. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation.

September 30, 2005<br> Gift<br> 341ml bottle<br> 5.20%<br> $0.00<br> This is great tasting beer. It pours an orangy red colour with a slight head. The aroma is nice and malty with a hint of honey. It works well on the cheeks with mild carbonation (unlike Sleeman Cream Ale which is way too fizzy). The taste is crisp and clear with hints of fruit and honey. Goes down well and tastes great with barbecued ribs.

As the beer is only 14 days from canning, I can’t chalk up the lack of aroma and body to age, only to it being a not so great beer.
