Every brewery needs a guardian. Meet ours, Christopher; the all seeing gargoyle. He’s been watching over the building for years. As the bell tolls in the darkest hour Christopher is always keeping a watchful eye. Midnite Umber Ale pours ruby brown and has notes of candied apricot, toffee and brown sugar balanced by a solid hand of southern hemisphere hops. The best of tease and temptation.

20 oz pint on tap at the Renfrew Pub (B. C.).
Pours with a clear reddish-brown body and a very good off-white head that leaves ample lacing.
Delicious aroma with plenty of caramel and some fruit notes. The flavor is mildly bitter despite some sweetness.
Spicy hops fade in and out.
Medium body with near perfect carbonation.

650ml bottle - hmmmm...'Christopher' kind of reminds me of a certain southern California brewery's marketing shtick.
This beer pours a clear, dark orange-brick brown colour, with three fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and bubbly tan head, which leaves a few instances of cannonball splash aftermath lace around the glass as it slowly sinks away.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, some random oily nuttiness, muddled dark stone fruit, brown sugar syrup, and very tame leafy, earthy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is semi-sweet, grainy and bready caramel malt, a hint of biscuity toffee, pithy nuts, bittersweet cocoa powder, stale cafe-au-lait, some weak black orchard fruitiness, hints of unrequited yeast love, and more underwhelming earthy, weedy, and musty floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite plain in its quotidian frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, with perhaps a touch of buttery weirdness not quite playing well with the other children. It finishes off-dry, the lingering caramel malt, chocolate, and nutty essences making a day of it.
Overall, this is a basic bitch sort of offering, nothing really wrong with it, but nothing really right, either. Easy to drink, sure, but boring enough that one sometimes forgets to take another swig whilst distracted by other web content - not what you think. Ok, it was Facebook.
