Hoppy and bitter. Copper pour at bier markt in Toronto. White head. Not bad an IPA you would sit down for one

Single tallboy from the Beer Store. Pours a good size frothy off-white head but doesn’t stick around very long. Has pretty thick lacing all around. Has an amber coppery appearance. Lively carbonation. Aromas of light roasted malt, earthy and herbal hops. Flavours are malty, cereal malts, some earthy hops, toffee and caramel notes. Somewhat sweet at first. A bit of bitterness in the finish. Not too bad. Prefer their IPA

can from the BeerStore, a Red Racer fan so had to try. Great colour, quite carbonated to start. Sensed some almost apple pie sweetness at first, but just really malty and smooth. Not my fave for sure but sitting here on the deck after 2 hrs on my bike and a dive in the pool, nice beer. Good not great as they say.

GregClow (3014) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 17, 2015
Can from The Beer Store. Clear and bright copper-red with an insignificant white head. Malt-forward aroma with notes of sweet bread and nuts, a bit of strawberry (oddly...), and a faint suggestion of dried leaves. Flavour has an unpleasant sticky sweetness up front - like sugary barley cereal - with some baked apple in the background, and a short finish with a quick hit of bittering hops that don’t linger for long. Body isn’t thin, exactly, but limp and unsatisfying. A bit of a mess, really, and a disappointment from a brewery I usually enjoy.

Metalchopz (2671) - Cantley, Quebec, CANADA - AUG 6, 2015
Pours a slightly hazy golden-amber colour with an off-white head that is small, with average stay and some decent lacing. Aromas of toasted malt and bread with hints of the farm (wet hay). The taste is a little more balanced with the caramel malts, fruitiness and a little hop, which is fine for the style. Refreshing amber ale, but not the best out there.

probstblueribbon (3353) - Nepean, Ontario, CANADA - JUL 12, 2015
500 ml can from TBS, served cold in a tulip glass.

App.: Clear copper (go figure...) with a fair, tight light tan head. Aroma: Quite malty, slightly nutty and savoury, lighter caramel/toffee, bread crust, buterscotch, grainy, melanoidin, so much malt. Palate: Medium body and carbonation. Flav.: Also quite malty, toffee notes, a bit of butterscotch, bready, red berries...mainly strawberries; dry with low to moderate bitterness and a fairly rich malty finish.

Decent, but not something I would seek out again.

MunBro (845) - St. Albert, Alberta, CANADA - MAY 10, 2015
Meh. Not too bad for a copper, but as to be expected a bit bland. Has some thin watery malt flavours and not much else.

presario (4901) - Stampede City, Alberta, CANADA - MAR 6, 2015
Dark Amber, a bit coppery. Thin head. Thin caramel scent with a trace of hops. A bit of a copper penny note to the taste. Straight forward Rickards type of beer. Some caramel. Light honey. Made for affordable BBQ quaffing.
