July 25, 2007<br> LCBO Outlet #255 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main / Bronte) <br> 500ml bottle<br> 5.00% ABV<br> Bottled On: Unknown<br> $2.35<br> The beer poured a translucent gold colour, darker than most North American lagers. The head was quite large and quite dense but disappeared quickly leaving a little lacing on the side. The aroma is hoppy with some yeasty tinges. The mouthfeel is slightly thick with ample carbonation and medium-bodied. The taste is very much pilsener like, but not as good as some of the common Czech Pilseners in my opinion.

August 12, 2007<br> LCBO Outlet #255 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main / Bronte) <br> 330ml bottle<br> 6.00% ABV<br> Bottled On: Unknown<br> $2.70<br> I tried this beer on August 12, 2007 after purchasing from my local LCBO outlet. It poured a hazy gold colour with a small head into the glass. The bottle described the beer as 'double-hopped' but this was not detected in the aroma to any extent. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with mild carbonation. The flavour was slightly hoppy and mild. <br> Both the appearance and taste of this beer was more reminiscent of wheat beers than a Czech Style Pilsener.

330ml stubby bottle <br> 4.3% ABV (as written on bottle) <br> Labelled as 'Corporal's Bitter Brown Ale' <br> I tried this beer on November 9, 2010 after purchasing from the Queen's Quay LCBO in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a hazy brownish gold with a thin white head (certainly not the rich mahogany colour described on the bottle). The aroma was grainy malt, ginger, and some floral hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was grainy malt, with citrusy hops, yeast, and spices...and I still have a ginger taste. I really enjoyed this beer. Appearance is marked down because brownish gold comes nowhere near mahogany! Had the side of the bottle not said 'mahogany.....it would have received a higher score!
