Bottled (shared by brunnsbe, thanks!). mber colour, small white head. Aroma is parumed soap, some floral and grassy hops as well as some mild sweetish notes. Flavour is much the same along with crisp caramel malts and some earth.

Toasty sweet nose light earthy woody hop character. Definitely one of sweeter bitters I’ve had. Pours coper thin head. Sugary sweet to start and finish with toast and a somewhat dry earthy woody character to back ot up. Too sweet and almost cloying at times.

Tap @ brewpub. Amber orange appearance with an ivory head. Woody, toasty, caramel malty nose. Low carbonation. Woody, bitter caramel flavor. Bleh.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours copper with a small head. Aroma and flavour of light resinous hops and caramel malts. Not bad.

Draught at the brewpub, hand pulled
Beautiful, clean amber color. Some caramel aroma. It has a medium sweet flavor, that strangely reminds me a watered Barley Wine; soft mouthfeel; good bitterness, ending with the correct mix of caramel too. Good.

Thick, chewy caramel malt aroma with light fruity esters and floral, earthy hops. Hazy, deep copper coloured body is topped by a generous and lasting off white head that leaves some lace. Caramel up front but not overly sweet. Decent offsetting bitterness with floral and earthy hop flavours. Esters are apparent especially in the aftertaste. Quite dry with medium body and creamy texture offset by pleasantly prickly carbonation. Tulip glass. Allowed to warm from fridge temperature. Bottle (Brewery Creek, Aug-08).

bomber courtesy of my brother: Pours a dark copper with a foamy medium white head. Aroma is caramel malt and light fruit hop. Flavour is slightly boozey which is odd...medium malt body. Tart fruit tones and a lingering tart-bitter finish

pours a amber colour with a some caramel aroma and a nice easy bitter taste. very easy to drink

Burnt orange amber, brief white head leaving patchy lace. Interesting and enticing fruit aromas, hard to characterize, but guava, gooseberries, and pear are being awoken in my consciousness. Aromatic fruity hops on a cushion of sweet malt, with a medium bitter finish of medium length.
