A hazy amber beer with a huge collapsing creamy beige head, that lazes the glass as it collapses. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with a very light hop presence and a slightly sour end. The mouthfeel is very soft. Nothing wrong, just boring.

Hazy amber with a large creamy head. Toasty, light malt-accented aroma. Palate trends towards toasty malts, but there are hops - earthy and citric at once. Dry finish. Not really to style, but quite enjoyable, appetizing.

Tap. May 2004. Amber ale with a nice light hoppy nose. good balance of hops and malts, but rather thin in mouth and overcarbonated.

Silky smoke…Milky malt…Till key hops kiss with languor…

2009-12-31. Crisp dark amber/copper body with a modest beige head and lace. 3+ Modest aroma is moderately hoppy. 6+ Flavour is similar, modest hops throughout are pleasant but the overall impression is just a touch dilute. Light grainy undertones have just a touch of astringency in the finish. Average plus bodied palate is smooth but thin around the edges.Okay. On tap at the brewpub

Light amber, nicely laced off-white head. Mostly bready nose presenting the slightest fruitiness and mellow airy hops. Light on the palate, carbonation is very soft and the flavors are all presenting this watery aspect that feels a bit juicy, french toast and pear like. A bit too light frankly, citric and dull.

[2672-20091231] Tap. Floral honey-like toasted grains aroma. Clear, medium orange brown body with a medium-lasting creamy off-white head. Mildly sweet yeasty grains flavour. Light-medium body. A little watery but nice enough.

Mild grainy malt aroma with fair citrus-grapefruit, floral and earthy hops in the nose. Slightly hazy copper-orange body is topped by a decent-sized, creamy white head that coats the sides of the glass. Grapefruit hop flavour hovers over some biscuity malt with a grainy undertone. Creamy texture to the medium body with fair carbonation. Sampled at the brewpub with Oakes, Rastacouere and Ungstrup.

Sample tray. Very big head. Sweet aroma with a hint of hops. Amber colour. Creamy body. A bit of vanilla and light hoppiness. A nice quiet drink.
