This was received in a blind trade and I was quite looking forward to trying a ‘colonial style’ amber ale. Sadly, it tasted a little like it had been brewed and canned in colonial times…

Pours a deep amber with minimal head that disappeared before I could whistle the first bars of Yankee Doodle Dandy. Looks dull and flat.

The aroma is dominated by candy sugar. Some bready malt. No hop notes to speak of.

Sweet and maybe even a little stale, mainly a candy sugar sweetness, but there is a little toffee in there. Hops left this beer for greener pastures some time ago.

Lacks carbonation. I’m guessing a bad seal on the can.

This was - I can only assume - a bad can of this beer. It was flat and stale and overly sweet. Disappointing. I donated 2/3rds of the can to the City of Toronto Water Filtration Plant.
