3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours from bottle golden honey color with copper tint.. Thought beer would be thick and black. Thick foamy head that stays till mid through. A strong swallow and taste stay on upper palate and down throat. Bottle finishes quick a good drinking ale.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Golden honey color with a nice thick creamy head. Aroma is fresh hops, hay and clover. Flavor is wonderful, crisp fresh hops, malts, herbs. Buttery mouthfeel. I like this a lot.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
500ml bottle. Dark amber with a medium white cap of foam. Looks dense and well carbonated. Aromas of salt and vegemite and a burnt bitterness. Nice bitter taste that clings to all corners of the mouth. Long aftertaste and very drinkable.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
50cl bottle as shown. Deep amber colour, fluffy medium off-white head. Sweetish aroma of orchard fruit and bready malt with traces of hops. Lower carbonation, thin, watery mouthfeel. Grassy hops are prominently featured taste-wise, with some fruit for balance. Crisp, stinging (but not overpowering) bitter finish and after taste. A straight-arrow bitter with little depth to the taste, but should go well with spicy food.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
UPDATED: OCT 4, 2009 Amber colour. Smelled fruity but not nice. Was too bland and dry. Was quite bitter. Not the worst but not a beer I’ll be having again.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle shared with funkybrewster. Pours a clear orange amber with a small but full white frothy head. Aroma is quite sweet for a bitter, rich, some definite fruitiness, buttery with a slight sour note, a little bit of skunk also. Flavor leads with butter followed by generous amount of bitter hops ending on a sharp sweetness. The bitterness is fairly metallic. Medium bodied with a lighter mouth-feel, very sharp even carbonation that is a bit off-putting, finishes extremely thin.

Thanks 17thfloor! Pours a deep golden orange color with a small white fizzy head. Aroma is nice fruity, a mix of light fruits, grapes, pears that are balanced be a very bready malt base. A floral hop character also adds some spiciness. Flavor starts with a sweet fruit character, with a nice grassy and floral hop note that immediately bitters and balances. Some darker fruits also present themselves, a bit of raisin. Finishes with a strong bitterness that remains pleasant and asks the drinker to take another sip. Medium body and a softer carbonation. I like the balance of this bittersweet beer.
