300ml Bottle (Thanks Omhper) - Copper red with a slight haze. Fruit, malt and some hoppy and citrus notes in the aroma. Tangy, hoppy and slightly fruity taste with notes of grapefruit, toffee and raisins. Nicely balanced and whilst the American influence is undeniable, it very much reminds me of many British beers I’ve had that have been brewed using American hop varieties.

Bottle. Creamy off-white good mostly lasting head. Dark yellow colour. Moderate malty and hoppy aroma. Light bitter flavor. Short light bitter finish. Watery palate.

Bottle. Nice head with good duration. Color is amber. Aroma and taste are caramel, nuts, flowers and hops.

Bottled 330ml (Petalax, BBE 2011)
Deep hazy amber color, steady beige head. Caramel, crystal malty sweetness in the nose, Slightly sour, berryish, lots of cardboard. Gone old? All of these Camelthorns I’ve had, have been quite weird.

Bottled (thanks omhper!). Reddish amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is fruits, mild syrup and some mild oxidation sweetness. Flavour is fruity, floral, bitter, caramelly and mild dry bitter grassyness. Semi-mouthdrying.

Bottle 300ml.

Hazy dark amber color. There is some quite nice hop aroma, with the caramel. The body is light, with some caramel flavor, and very dry mouthfeel; missing some better hopping here.

Bottle @ Miss January / AA Meeting Afterparty Tasting, March 2012. Pours dark unclear amber with a small creamy head. Yeast, rubber, caramel and dust. A bit of hops. Homebrewer feel. Not entirely bad though.
