Light grainy malt paired with grainy hops... light brownish orange body with thin off-white head in a HopDevil Nonick...indeed a bitter, as some reviews have already cleared up...lightly carbonated, medium bodied, medium dry texture...lightly bitter initially; mellow finish...pleasant and well within its genre... a smooth way to return to work after the holiday break...clean, swift finish makes this a pub fare companion, but not quite a session bear woth detailing intricately....

Bottled, pasteurised, 500ml. Orange amber with white head. Light, malty, scottish type bitter with a slight peaty note, must be my imagination, but I get a little smokiness. Fruity, apple in the body and almost indistinguishable hop. Still quite reasonable and easy drinking.

Århus2008. 50 cL bottle. Pours clear golden yellow with a lacing white head. Light fruity hops aroma. Flavour is mild sweet hoppy with a light fruity note, nice and lingering light. Ends with a mild bitterness and light fruity flavour into the far finish.

500 ml, bbe Jul 09. Clear amber-orange, with a lasting creamy ring above. Spicy yeast and slight caramel apple aroma. Flavor is a mild, delicate balance of some slight toffee, grain, and not-sweet apple with some dry wood and bitter herb. Light-medium body is smooth, with a slight tingly dryness, and highly drinkable. Not really worth $4.50 a pint, but a very good session bitter.
