763 | Brick Amber Dry | Canada | Amber Ale | 3.6
Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 7 June 1, 1991<br> The Trasheteria (Guelph, Ontario, Canada) <br> 355ml bottle <br> 5.5% ABV <br> $2.00 <br> I like this beer, I really do. As a previous reviewer stated, I was in University when I first tried this. I was a slave to the mainstream breweries when this happened in my glass. To me, the aroma is fruity in nature, which made me skeptical from the beginning. Being colour blind, I will not comment on colour aside from saying it isn't dark, nor is it light. As for the flavour, I love it. It has a full flavour not found in a lot of mainstream beer. |
