Hazy orange copper color, decent white foamy head that leaves some lacing in the glass, light nutty caramel aroma. Light body and has a crisp carbonated mouthfeel, balanced malt and hop flavors, nice clean bitterness, finishes dry. Great session brew, very tasty and drinkable.

Golden bronze color with light off-white head and some lacing. The aroma is moderately hoppy with some balanced biscuity caramel. The flavor is also balanced with some of the base malts and the initial (but not now) hoppy notes coming through. The finish is nicely acidic with some nuts amd light malts. not too bad, another import, another rating.

Bottled. Deep clear amber colour. Fine white head. Bitter green hop aroma. Both primary and late hoping are distinct. The malt only discernable in the flavour. I’m really enjoying this beer and find it quite distinct.

Hazey honey colored pour with a small off white head. Aroma is a little bready, yeasty. I don’t get a lot of bitterness out of this. Maybe I’m tainted by the IPA’s recently. I’m not a huge fan of the style....so I’m kind of neutral on this beer.

Pours a hazy copper color with a thin off-white head that says "byre" real quickly. Has an agreeable hoppy aroma that’s mainly herbal, perhaps a bit doughy. Solid malt flavors with perhaps a bit of smokiness and a good bitter rush at the end of each drink. Lingering bitter finish. Tasty stuff.
