500ml Bottle: best before Sep 2013. Poured at home into a UK pint sleeve glass. Reddy amber body, bright almost: off-white head of thin foam on top. Malts rule this brew: roasted, toasted malts to be exact. Fairly sweet tasting beer with a fuity feel to the malt molasses, toffee notes can clearly be found within the malty flavour. Crisp and well carbonated, easy to drink and interesting.

Tasted in 2010 (backlog). Amber in color with a small off-white head. Aroma is of grain and malt. Taste is the same.

500ml bottle. Pours a brownish red. Smells choppy with no fruit but just malts. Tastes bitter with nothing very exciting. Extremely drinkable though as it has just the right amount of carbonation and not too strong for a session beer.

Bottle@home, 500ml. Head: lots off-white foam. Colour: amber. Aroma: hops, malts, vague raisins. Taste: hops, bitter. Palate: mild, medium bitter finish, watery. Overall: nice.

Hazy amber beer. Light semi dry palate. Soft creamy malt gives way to fairly bitter hops. Unfortunately all too English in as much as the hops impart bitterness but no real flavour. Still quite a drinkable beer. Finishes semi soft.

Bottle poured chestnut brown with small off white head, smells of toffee and spice with a little sweet smell, the taste starts quite quite bland and the aftertaste although better is still very weak not great

Thx benzai for sharing, like always :P Amber to copper clear colour with a creamy off-white head. Smells malty and grainy. Tastes bitter, grainy.. typical ale taste. Dry, bitter mouthfeel, ok carbo and creamy.

Bottle @ home, shared with DutchDrebus. Full creamy off-white head on top of a clear dark red / brown colored beer. Smell malts, grains, lightly roasty and bitter. Taste malts and lightly bitter. Fizzy carbo, medium body.

bottle at home ... deep soft red ... medium off white head ... sweet light toffee caramel malts ... over fizzy ... nutty toffee malts ... hop spice linger ... soft easy.

A very simple and ordinary beer, but that doesn’t make it bad. Everything is mild from the hop , floral, and citrus aroma, to the caramel malt and citrus taste.
