Commercial Description:
Bottle: Pasteurised.
A full-bodied and malty ale with a rounded, smooth fruit palate and a tight, creamy head that laces all the way down the glass. Rich in colour with a smooth, creamy texture and a distinctively strong flavour.

Clear amber with a large white head. Malt dominate the aroma. Watery at first, but came alive as it warmed.

Pours a surprising amber color that seems promising with a slight fizzy head. The first taste is a little boring with English hops and barley and slight flavors amaretto and apricots. However, the beer leaves the mouth quite dry and the bitterness of the hops isn’t well balanced by the sweetness of the malts.

Bottle. Pour is a light brown/dark amber with a small frothy head and aromas of herbs and dusty/bready grains (smells almost like rye bread). Flavor has a caramel/toffee/rye bread malt presence with a bit of spice (pepper, grass, & allspice). This is pretty pleasant, but kind of uninteresting.

Pours deep amber into a shaker. Bright white head recedes to skim surface. Bread and caramel aromas. Crisp and slightly sour. Dry, lasting nut brown, caramel finish.

500 ml bottle. Deep amber color, creamy white head. Slightly herbal hop aroma. Smooth fruity, hoppy flavor, malty finish. Light body, slightly watery. Straight-forward, drinkable beer.

0.5 l bottle. Amber color with creamy head. Sweetish, caramelly, nutty and slightly toasty aroma with notes of flowery british hops. Caramelly, toasty and nutty with medium bitterness and flowery-candyish british hops. Pleasant and easy.
