51 Double Diamond Original Burton Ale United Kingdom Extra Special Bitter 2.4

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

June 30, 1990<br> O’Toole’s (Milton, Ontario, Canada – 55 Ontario Street North) <br> 592ml draught<br> 5.0% ABV <br> $2.50<br> The beer poured a nice golden hue with an off-white head that lingered for a while. The aroma was nothing spectacular, slightly malty but long lasting. Like other ales I have tried it was slightly thick on the tongue with weak carbonation. The flavour was mild, not strong, not bitter as I had expected

52 Newcastle Brown Ale United Kingdom Brown Ale 2.4

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 4

June 15, 1990<br> Woolwich Arms, The (Guelph, Ontario, Canada – 176 Woolwich Street) <br> 592ml draught<br> 4.70%<br> $4.70<br> This beer pours a dark brown colour into the glass with not a lot of head. The aroma is not all that strong which surprised me given the strong colouration. The taste had a sugary tinge to it that made the beer unpleasant to me. This is not a beer that I will try again in the near future.
