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.

June 3, 1995 <br> Brass Taps (Guelph, Ontario, Canada – University of Guelph, University Centre)<br> 341ml bottle <br> 5.2% ABV <br> $0.00<br> The original review. A nice beer with a modicum of flavour. The colour is dark red-brown which looks very thick and the head varies. The aroma is non-descript compared to other beers, there are some slight malt and hop tinges, nothing overpowering. It has a lagery feel in the mouth which for me makes it a bit more palatable. The taste is a slightly sweet taste with a hint of malt. It tends to be a smooth brew which goes down quite well. I have recommended this to others.<br> <br> 2022 Re-Review<br> This is a re-review of a beer that I enjoyed immensely before becoming a beer hobbyist. This review is for the 473ml can purchased from one of the local LCBO outlets. The beer poured a translucent red colour with a 1/2 inch white head that did not stick around. The aroma is sweet caramel malt with some hoppish tones. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. The taste is stale sweet malt - and not much else. For swill - I still enjoy it.

September 30, 2006<br> Gift<br> 341ml bottle<br> 5.00% ABV<br> $0.00<br> This was the free beer provided by a participant at the 2006 hockey pool. Decent aroma, but nothing to write home about. Slightly malty. The colour was an almost reddish colour. It felt 'perky' on the tongue, but the favour didn't thrill me.

650ml bottle <br> 5.3% ABV <br> I tried this beer on May 9, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto. The beer poured a translucent orangy-brown with a thin white head. The aroma was some sweet malt, some citrus, although not really all that orangy, and some hops, although I was expecting a more hoppy assault from a beer with 5 kinds of hops in it. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, with medium carbonation, and leaves a dry feeling. The flavour had a little malt in it, and some bitter hop tones as well to round it off. A very enjoyable beer.
