Handwritten notes: A not-too-bad, sweet beer with a distinct ale taste - at least these fuckers brewed an ale and not some lager with "ale extract"... with that said, there is nothing so endearing about this beer to make it a superstar... after a night of watery bullshit beer it would stand out, but otherwise, it it good for a Canadian brew... why do I keep slamming my homeland? I think I'm a self-hating Canuck.
