Cloudy golden-amber. Earthy, fruity (peach, pear) aroma. Woody, earthy flavour with light citrus and some dusty yeastiness. Quite bitter but without much complexity.

(22oz bottle, courtesy of Walt) Pours a clear amber body with a small white head. Aroma of Peeps Easter candy, caramel, and pine. Flavor of caramel malt and mild hops.

(22oz bottle) Crystal clear apple juice body with small off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, grapefruit.floral, light caramel. Taste is medium sweet, pine/grapefruit, light bread. The hops dominate. Light-medium body, some chalk.

Bottle... Clear, golden ale with a small, fizzy, white head. Herbal, citrusy nose. Leans on the bitter side of balance with notes of grapefruit rind and tangy notes of lemon peel. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Bitter, astringent finish. Thanks to Argo0 for sharing.

Bomber. Something like a caramel aroma backed by citrus hop. Hard to get a good smell, as the foam exceeds the liquid. Hazy gold tinged amber color. The head is huge, but it’s not lacing much. (It did lace a lot after the foam reduced 2/3s) Medium body with sharpish carbonation. Mild caramel with a bit of harsh floral and/or citrus hop. Pretty tasty. Waters out a bit at the finish, but it’s even more bitter at that point. Probably a bit extreme for most UK residents.

Pours a clear copper orange with a large, forthy, and well-lacing off-white head. Aroma of lightly toasty English malts and lots of earthy, mildly citric English hops. Body starts with a mild grainy earthy maltiness with a touch of lemon rind before a slightly more bitter dull finish. There’s a little too much citrus hop character and not enough sweetness for my liking.

A hazy amber ale with a thin off white head. A musty hops aroma, doughy, sowing signs of oxidation. In mouth, a good malt, with nuttyness, and sustained British hops bitterness, with grapefruit in final. Medium bodied. Brewmaster reserv 2006. Bought at Booze Bros, August 2007.
