526 Cameron's Reginald Hopburn Canada Amber Ale 3.6

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

550ml draught <br> 5.0% ABV <br> I tried this beer on tap September 2, 2011 at "C'est What Brewpub" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a translucent copper colour with an off-white creamy head that disappeared within a couple of minutes. The aroma was a mish-mash of caramel malts, citrus hops, and some earthiness. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour starts off sweet with hints of toffee and caramel, and has a bitter citrusy finish. A pretty good effort by Cameron's.

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

500ml bottle <br> 5.2% ABV <br> Bottled On: September 30, 2011 <br> Queen's Quay LCBO Outlet (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) <br> October 6, 2011 <br> So, according to the bottle, this beer was 5 days old when I bought it, and 6 days old when I drank it.....FRESH! The beer poured a translucent golden orange with a thin off-white head. Pumpkin and spices dominated the aroma with not much else. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium-high carbonation. The flavour is malt, grains, and pumpkin. Not as pumpkin-pie-y as some American offerings, but a good beer nonetheless.

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

Review #700 <br> 550ml draught <br> 5.9% ABV <br> I tried this beer on tap on October 7, 2011 at "C'est What" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer was a golden orange in colour with a thin snow white creamy head. The aroma was pineapple, citrus, and grains. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was tropical fruit sweetness and some grassy maltiness. Went down very easily for a 5.9% ABV beer. <br> <br> Note: After finishing the beer, the bartender informed that she also thought it was pineapple we smelled and tasted, but it was in fact mango and peach.
