Toffee and caramel in both flavour and colour, tried it on tap and was dissapointed with head and lack of carbonation. is it meant to be like that ? Sure it had more guts out of a bottle, regardless still got that crisp bitterness at the finish to balance the intial sweetness Want to drink this beer on an Autumn evening in an Alpine forest with a steaming bowl of spiced pumpkin soup and a transistor radio. just not on tap

Amber colour, very bready to the nose. Looks flat and mundane. Slightly bitter touches. Quite watery.

Pours dark amber with a lasting small head. Nose is faint, but shows some banana and apples along with some floral hops. Lots of toasty nutty flavours add a new dimension with some of that banana following through. Unfortunately the malt is slightly grainy. Carbonation is too high.

Amber, large fluffy beige head. Very high bead. Mild aroma of caramel, grass and spice. Taste is mild caramel sweetness with touches of fruit with modest bitterness. There’s a slight burnt wood note and a little butter. Drying finish has more bitterness. Not going to set the world on fire, but a tasty enough session beer from the bottom of the Victorian snowfields.

From a 330ml bottle on 13/5/2010. Has a slightly unusual, almost sour smell to it. Doesn’t present as a typical amber ale. Actually has a fair bit of taste to it, and is almost a little lemony. Extremely big on the hops for this style. An interesting attempt, but it doesn’t quite come together for me.

Bottle & Tap - I liked this beer. Amber colour with plenty of malt, fruit and spice flavours. Kinda has the right balance. A good easy drinking ale.

Tap. Great amber ale. Aromas of burnt malt, and cola. Flavour is sweet, with average length. Velvety in the palate, and medium body. Amber colour, with a thin frothy head.

330ml bottle. Dep honey orange colour with a rich off white creamy head. Sweet citrus aroma with a raisin backdrop. Lively in the mouth with some caramel flavours coming through. A bit of acidity in the finish. Pleasant.

Bottle. Hazy orange amber, big foamy orange head. Aroma of kumquat citrus and toffee. Flavours of citrus fruit, toffee, spices, and a slightly phenolic band-aid note. An odd little amber, but decent enough.

Strong head good carbonation,amber misty colour.Aroma citric,sea air,mild hop,flavour bitter,citris,malt is smooth,hops from the start farly strong and balanced,theay are the main falavours,finish hoppy/bitter,dry.

...bottle. Well, I don’t know why they tried putting so many different malts in this beer, but that ruined it. No head, too overly carbonated. The hops are way too overpowering, especially in the finish. I hope thier witbeer is better than this, because 4.95 a bottle for this is rediculous.
