Draught at Castle West as Aqula Amber. Huge hoppy nose, Nelson Sav? Light caramel malt behind. Glowing orange amber with a beautiful fine head. Light but definite caramel malt flavor, rich and tasty but out-shone by grassy, dirty citrus hops. The subtle maltiness is great. Wickedly bitter—maybe too much. Full body but not heavy. Great.

Deep amber. Lots of crystal malts, apricots and earthiness. Solid malt backbone perfectly balances the hops. Some sourness but not too much. Moderately aggressive hoppy finish. Wow, renewed respect for these guys. Solid effort.
