(Bottle 35,5 cl) Hazy, amber golden with a gigantic, off-white head. Fruity aroma. Light-bodied with underlying, unclean notes of cheap candy. No bitterness. Quite unpleasant really. I sort of hope this was off. 291206

Bottle. Clear orange coloured with an off white head. Aroma of malts, caramel and fruits. Flavour of malts, caramel and fruits.

Bottle. Amber colour with a big beige head. Malty, carboard, sweet candy aroma and taste. Medium body with a sweet finish.

Bottled. An unclear orange beer with a huge brown head with stains of black. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of straw and caramel, and so is the flavor.

on tap, dark amber, smooth, a bit dry? and overly bitter. Not the most refreshing or interesting beer at Founder’s...or anywhere else.

On tap: Medium/Dark amber-copper color. Sweet, but not overly so. Pretty smooth, no bite on the salivary glands like many other ambers. Otherwise, fairly typical amber profile. Well done.

Thanks to StewardOfGondor for hooking me up with this one. Pours a dark amber color, no head, small little white floaties hanging out. Aroma is musty butterscotch, nuts, cat piss. Flavor is thin, soapy and acidic. This one might be slightly past its prime. I’m not sure.

Bottle thanks to Joel. Nougat, caramel, and maple syrup in the aroma. Citric acid is the first thing to come to mind when sipping. Otherwise there’s dusty crystal malt and some corn stalk. Not so good.
