<i>My Bottom Line:</i><br /> This softspoken Bitter promotes bready cereals and their light caramelization atop firm leafy, wooden hop bitterness for a very clean yet not very compelling quaffer.<br /> <br /> <i>Further Personal Perceptions:</i><br /> -A veil of foam covers the honeyed golden-amber.<br /> -Some orangey and passionfruit-like fruitiness seem to stick to the residual sugars.<br /> -The CO2-fed mouthfeel is of course not very authentic for the style, but apart from that it certainly does not detract from its high drinkability.<br /> -The mild caramel may take on maple syrup angles at times.<br /> -This fall 2008 batch was hopped with English hops only, whereas the previous batch was with US-grown English-style hops.<br /> <br /> <b>On tap at the brewpub.</b>

Hazy amber-orangeish hue, with a small beige head, yeasty fruity peachy nose, with some toasted malts, biscuity and cookie dough accents, faint floral hops in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a nice yeasty, sweet caramelized malt character, with a citrus flowery hop note, hint of pineyness, a bit toasty, leading towards a lingering leafy hops bitterness finish.

The color is dark amber and very cloudy.It has a swwet citrus flavor with a hoppy aroma to it.The bitter taste is long lasting and that makes it very pleasant.

Cloudy dark orange with a mostly lasting small white head. Earthy orange flavour backed by a crisp candyish caramelized body. Light but tasty and rather hoppy with a pretty strong grassy bitterness. Long finish. Silky mouthfeel. Feels sweet for only a 4%. Some desert fruits (kiwi, etc) and herbs round-up the flavour spectrum. Enjoyable Bitter but not very british at all. Nice session ale. Pretty good at what it is… would suck as a cake.
