4/7/12. 12oz bottle thanks to PorterPounder. Slightly unclear reddish pour with a nice, thick, off-white head that sticks forever and laces plenty. Lightly bready aroma with touches of citrus, tartness, honey, and light grains. Slightly bitter flavor with grainy malts, toast, some caramel, a hint of citrusy tartness, and some tea. Interesting. Not bad.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Orange copper in the glass. Very interesting aroma of herbs; oregano and toasty malt. With the mix of herbs and malt the aroma is very reminiscent of focaccia bread. Grassy minty hops bitter flavor followed by some malty notes. Overall, much more complex and delicious than expected. I wish I could get my hands on some more!
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 oz bottle. Light amber color. Fizzy, vibrant pour. Aroma is dark fruits, sugar. Light bodied, and relatively subdued in all respects. Ratebeer lists this as an Bitter/ESB, although I find nothing bitter about this beer. This tastes like a standard amber, without any fun involved.
