This was a very strong beer. It was very flavourful, but it's not something I would go out and intentionally seek out. There was something about it that just didn't strike my fancy, not sure what it was. It wasn't as heavy as I thought it would be, but it certainly wasn't a light and refreshing beer.

This is was an excellent beer. It was more flavourful than I was expecting and had a bit of a hoppy finish.

This was a fantastic beer. I would buy and drink this again and again. It was a darker colour than I was expecting, but the flavour was fantastic. The only thing that would stop me from making this my regular beer is the price, at $2.95 for a tallboy, but I get that money can buy quality.

C. Rating: ★★★★
Pretty good.
