Bottle. Amber colour. Aroma of toasted malts, some caramel and hoppines. Flavour is crisp and fresh with toasted maltiness and a caramel touch, nice mild bitter hoppines. Average aftertaste of some bitterness maltiness.

Canned, 50cl. Reddish golden, pours a nice smooth head. Aroma has some honey and sweetness. The flavor is moderately sweet, with some bitterness. Better than I expected.

This light golden beer has a nice head and the aroma is sweetish and malty. The flavour has notes of caramel and malt, and it’s a quit drinkable beer, but somewhat insignificant.

This is what you would expect for a moderatly priced pale ale. The flavor can be a little much for those who are not used to a pale ale.

amber, white foam, hardly any lacing, medium sweetness, lightly bitter, seemed a little "too" sweet to me. slightly grassy with hints of sugar cane? I prefer it much more in a black & Tan.

Draft. Amber beer with a nice off-white head. Everything about this beer is slight - slight grass, slight earth, slight mineral, slight hop, slight malt. It’s well balanced and easy drinking. Medium body. Better than I remember it being.

Sweet pale yellow color. A thoroughly unimpressive beer with flat nose and flat body.
