Hazy orange-amber beer with a very good orange head, fed by lively carbonation. Lots of coloured malt and restrained caramel. Fresh vegetable/parsley/even insectoid aromas. Again rather sharp light-coloured malt flavours with vegetable/insectoid overtones, stressed by the near fizzy carbonation. Restrained sweetness, and a faint earthy flavour. Rather sharp MF, medium bodied, alcohol remaining hidden. Bit middle-of-the-road beer; rather amber than brown ale.

Bottle... It pours clear amber with a large off white head.... The aroma is malts, caramel, fruits and yeast.... The flavor is sweet, bitter, malts, caramel and yeast....

Sampled from bottle at the brewery. Hazy amber body with a small off-white head. A bit weak aroma of caramel and fruit. Flavor is fruity, caramel, moderate bitterness, spices and warming alcohol. A bit straight forward but OK.

Sample from bottle, enjoyed with fellow ratebeerians at the brewery. Murky, dark amber body, under a medium yellow-blond top. Soft caramelly malt flavor. Some candied fruits and notes of pepper. Taste is spiced caramel, some jammy dark fruits. Light peppery bitterness in the backbone. Mid-bodied. Slick in the mouth. Solid and straightforward.
