Toasted orange-brown colour. Mellow malt aroma, and a nutty/fruity malt flavour. Enough hops in the finish for you to notice them, but not enough to get very excited about. An average session ale.

Amber, with a fully diminishing, fizzy, off-white head. Yeast, caramel, and cookie aroma. Bland and average initial taste, slight bitter finish. Light, slightly prickly, and empty mouthfeel.

I like this beer. Nice small bubbles and a smoothe taste. Decent hop taste balanced with a fruity malt body.

Nothing really special about this beer but it does seem to be well ballanced. Refreshing beer but doesn't really do a whole lot for me.

Deep amber color. Malty aroma and flavor. Slight woody aspect. Not too bad.

Nothing all that special about this beer. Overall it is an easy drinking ale with a little malt and sweetness than the macros but nothing to write home about.
