-------- /> I would like to rerate this beer.
The score was calculated based upon the notes and an old scoring system.

(Bottle) Pours a clear amber body with a descent off-white head. Aroma of wheat and wet grass with a hint of fruit. Flavor of sweet malt with some earthiness.

Bottle. Golden with sparse white head. Toasty golden syrup aroma and toffee. Some yeasty/toffee in the mouth, bit of boiled sweet. Finish has touch of hop, more toffee. Not a great golden/amber beer, but ok.

Bottled (BB 07/2006)
Clear amber brown, small firm creamy head. Berries, rye, hay in the nose. Very malty, medium-bodied. Crisp carbonation. Long barley/rye aftertaste with some brown sugar notes.

Cloudy amber body with big rocky beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, spicy, ginger, green tea, some orange, light anise, herbal. Taste is medium sweet, ginger, green tea, yeasty spicy, some earthy/herbal in the finish. Watery medium body, some acidity, bubbly. Interesting, but I’m not wholly sure I like it.

Bottled. Clear, sparkling, amber ale with a decent beige head. Strange aroma with some sour note, caramel and hops. The flavor is fruity and honey-like, with hops. Thin body and a finish with sweetness and fruityness. Strange, but not bad. The finish lasts long, with a fruity hoppiness. Strange, but not bad beer. (060807)

Bottle. [thank you, Yespr]
Pours clear golden copper with an okay, frothy white head - okay lacing. Aroma is very mild with a light touch of caramel. Okay mouthfeel, but a touch watery. Soft flavour, caramel and lightly tart. Generally, though, it is sweet and uncomplicated.
