2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
330ml bottle. Golden pour with a small white head that lingers. Nose of caramel malts and fruity citrus hops but none of the advertised passionfruit aromas. Palate is smooth and medium-light bodied with a moderately sweet malt base balanced by a decent citrussy hop bitterness that lingers. Satisfying without being remarkable.
1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 4/20
Bottle. Orange colour, small head that disappeared quickly. Caramel/bitter aroma. I didn’t get the passionfruits. Typical caramel taste for an amber, quite bitter. I wouldn’t buy again.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Lager amber ale. It has a touch of fruitiness aromic hops about it, and touches of sweetish but lacks something ....
not too bad .
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
In bottle. Amber with a foamy head, passionfruit on the nose, caramalised malt in the mouth. Lacking body and substance.
1.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
330ml bottle. Cloudy amber colour with absolutely no head at all, just a scattering of bubbles that cling to the edge of the glass. Passionfruit aroma with a backdrop of citrus. Flat bitter sour taste, not pleasant at all.
2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
...bottle, another no-poir, but oh well. It did have a rather fruity nose, and decent hop aromas from the amarillo. Had some citrus, but only a hint. Thought it was pretty thin, lacked body and oomph. FInished slightly fruity with a slightly roasted character. It was ok, but nothing to do the "badda-whip" dance over.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Pours golden with a small white head. Light citrus aroma. Lacking any true malt character with some citrus hops coming through. Light bitterness in the finish.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
330ml bottle b/b -16/12/08. Mild amber, pours nice in the glass. Quite heavily carbonated, mild malts dominated. Ok but disappointed given the write up about amarillo and cascade hops as neither seemed apparent. Reading others reviews it would seem a better beer on tap than in bottle.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bright orange in clour with small white head. Mild grassy hop aroma. Hint of citrus. Well balanced hop flavours. Clean dry finish.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
330ml bottle, served chilled. Clean copper body with fluffy white head. Metallic nose, some sweet toffee maltiness, a hint of hops with a sutble spicy fruitiness in there. Lean bodied, carbonation seems off, no real malt backbone. A toffee sweetness upfront, converging into a breadiness with metallic bitterness and hint of citrusy hops. Seems to be over before it started, needs more of everything...malt and hops more specifically.
