Poured from a 341ml. bottle.
Appearance: A ruby-red, copper body with a very thin head that barely holds on for a minute. Coats a little on the glass.
Smell: Crystal malt, caramel, some dry citrus fruit mixed with cranberries and plums.
Taste: Dry, dark fruits with a tea-like presence. Plums mostly with dried cranberries and caramel malt.
Mouthfeel: Active carbonation with a full body for 4%. A bit thin at the end.
Overall: A very flavorful and tasty light beer. Malt rules here & is welcome.

Bottle from a mixed pack I picked up outside Mont Tremblant.
A - Pours a dark red colour with strong carbonation. Bright. Two finger creamy looking khaki head. Some ok rings of lacing and a film of retention.
S - Caramel and bread with some yeasty esters. Some caramel notes as well.
T - Bready again with a little bit of yeasty notes. Caramel is there but softer than the aroma. Some earthy hops there also with a touch of maple syrup.
M - Medium body and light to medium carbonation. Lingering bready, fruity notes on the tongue.
O/D - I'm slightly torn on this one. Certainly a light beer with character. Not bad. A malt cap gun instead of a bomb.

341ml bottle, an extra from tbeckett.
This beer pours a clear, dark amber hue, with one finger of fast-disappearing thin pale beige head, which leaves little beyond a few amoebic streaks of lace around the glass in its haste. It smells of sharp biscuity malt, a bit of ash, and earthy hops. The taste is more biscuity, nutty, slightly roasted malt, and bitter floral, somewhat pine-like hops. Boo-yah! The carbonation is there, but generally unobtrusive, the body medium weight, and totally smooth, save the lingering hop astringency. It finishes off-dry, but with the history still being written by the hops in this very short story.
It's red, and maybe London (England) influenced, but my, there is something else going here as well - hopped up just south of the proverbial nuts, yet in the Continental way - earthy, floral, but still bitter. Whatever, this a hell of a session bitter, and I'd love to be able to prove it right now.

341ml bottle poured into a pint glass. I wasn't sure at first since this one is a light beer. I gave it a try.
A : Ruby color, not much head and it goes quickly and leaves no lacing.
S : Light malts, a little bit of hops
T : Caramelized malt, light taste of torrefaction.
M : Watery texture, refreshing though. Nothing to expect much from a light beer.
D : Easy drinkin', refreshing.
I was surprised by this beer since it is light. I finally found a light beer with taste! ;)

Pours a dark ruby red with a finger of red tinged head. Head slowly settles down to a crown.
Scent is some light caramel malts, and a hint of something like raisins.
The first sip reminded me of a really dumbed down barleywine. Same kind of flavors, but muted and no alcohol taste. Further tastes give some smoother malts, an almost chocolatey flavor, some minor but not unpleasant sourness,
I believe this is my first Dark Mild Ale. If this is characteristic of the style it is fairly interesting. Interesting taste and feel and certainly drinkable.

Color is amber, very dark (some reddish notes) and clear. Practically no head. The aroma is caramel malts, not much hops. Maybe some fruits in the aroma, cherry? not sure... The aroma intensity is medium but for a light beer, it is intense. Taste shows caramel with a very subtly bitterness. Very tasty for a light beer. Thirst quenching too. Thin-bodied.

On tap at Bily Kun. The 3.8% abv made me hesitate. Don't remember last time I had 3.8.
A- Very dark, yet clear brown. Half inch of head recedes to a thick tan layer. Lots of little bubbles all throughout. Looks good, tasty. Lacing looks like a Rorschach test.
S- Sour malt and yeast that smells more Belgian than English.
T- Pretty sour and malty. Hops remind me of lager. Not much to say here.
M- Medium to high carbonation. Same mouthfeel as lots of euro lagers.
D- Easy to drink, but doesn't really keep you wanting more.
