Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4

March 12, 2008<br> LCBO # 255 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main / Bronte)<br> 500 ml bottle <br> 5.5% ABV <br> $2.30 <br> The beer poured a nice translucent gold colour with a minimal white head. The aroma was mainly grainy malts with nothing else. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with ample carbonation. The flavour was similar to the aroma in that it was very malty with very little other discernable flavours. This beer is readily available in Canada, but is simply an average brew at best. Not something I would consider buying again
