Bottled. An amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet hoppy on a back ground of malt and berries. The flavor is sweet malty and quite hoppy, the hops giving it notes of both grapefruit and straw, and makes the end quite bitter.

From tap at San Clemente. Pours deep golden orange with a lacing white head. Solid hoppy and light wooden aroma. Flavour dry and breadish yet with a nice hoppy flavour on top. Dense malty finish with a lingering hoppy spiced finish with a nice dry bitterness into the far finish.

Bright reddish amber; earthy hops overlap earthy malts. I’ve had this beer before, I swear...

Bottle at EBF 2008. Cloudy amber coloured with a small white head. Fruity aroma of malts, caramel and hops. Fruity flavour of caramel, liquorice and hops with notes of pine needles. Hoppy finish.
