Darker amber, moderate head with solid lacing and good retention. Aroma is malt dominated with notes of caramel, toast and earth. Minor hop notes. Finishes dry with very light alcohol. Decent, but it’s just another amber so who cares.

22oz bottle, no date. All of my beers have been the same color as of late--clear dirty orange with a small beige head, low retention. Caramel, light nuts, and some underlying spicy and fainter piney hops are the aroma. Flavor was much the same with the addition of a little earth, and overall bitterness peaking at a 2-3. Low carbonation with a light to medium body.

Very soap bubbly head. While it fades, it does last for a few minutes unless you drink from the glass. Reddish brown in color. Flavor is a slight oxidation to it. No pronounced aroma. Slight warming on the palate after a minute with a hoppy aftertaste that wasn’t necessarily there when you first drink it. Not on my list of beers to go out of my way to try again, but I’m close enough to Fairfield that I just might have to try it at their pub to see what it tastes like fresh.

22 fl oz. Pours orange/brown with a light brown head. Sweet, slight raisin nose. Grapefruit flavour, hoppy and slight caramel malty but all kept rather dry. Dry hoppy finish. Nice.

Bottle. Clear orange coloured with an off white head. Sweet aroma of caramel, hops, pine needles and liquorice. Flavour of caramel, hops and pine needles. Dry hoppy finish.

Hazy amber color. Aroma of caramel, dry, and nice hops. Weak body, with a good caramel flavor and quite strong bitterness, without exaggerating. The final is caramel and hops too, long and dry. Good.

Bottled. A dark amber beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel as well as a light hoppy grassy note, leading to a dry bitter finish.

Bottle. [Courtesy of Papsoe, another great session] Average beige light creamy head that mostly diminished. Good display of lacework. Somewhat clear and amber color. Aroma of floral, light grapefruit, elderflower, caramel, fruit. Medium bodied with a light dry texture and an average carbonation. Moderated sweet flavor with light bitter notes. Sweet floral like finish.15-08-2007

(Bottle 65 cl) Clear, warm amber golden with an off-white head leaving some lacework. It comes with a classic American nose rich with aroma hops. Medium body, lightly sweet caramel notes, a slight nuttiness and then a fairly bitter finish. Decent but not exactly thrilling. 150807
