Beer Snob (378), Ontario, Canada Jul 29, 2009 My life is so much better now that this is a regular feature at my Liquor Store.
A nice clear brown colour with a small head. It smells just like an ale should - hint of fruit and a nice maltiness. Tastes even better than it looks, easy drinking maltiness with a bit of fruit and a nice bitter kick at the end.
Taste is clean and this is a very refreshing ale. lithy (1600), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Jul 28, 2009 Clear amber orange with a off white orange tinged head. Aroma is grassy hops, crisp sweet caramels, biscuits, bready malts. Taste is sweet caramels, fruity toffee, biscuit malt, then a nice grassy finish. chrisv10 (335), Denmark Jul 27, 2009 50 cl can. Clear red/amber body with medium size of-white head. Flavour is malt, caramel and some bitterness. ben4321 (957), Rockville, Maryland, USA Jul 24, 2009 Location: I’d been meaning to rate this beer, but since I hadn’t had it for a while, I picked up an 11.2 oz bottle from Gilly’s, and drank it 7/24/09
Aroma: Caramel malt aroma, a bit bready too
Appearance: Clear amber color, thin white head, light lacing
Flavor: Taste is mostly the sweet caramel malts, bit of fruit, late hop bitterness
Palate: Medium body, dry
Overall Impression:
Decent, but not great. I like it, but I just do not have a lot else to say in description of this one.
fredthecat (180), Canada Jul 23, 2009 light cherry smell, cherry taste with brown bread . its dark amber with a white head, mouthfeel is fullers smooothness.. hits the spot like all fullers products.. mmm 6% feels nonexistant PJClarke (609), London, Greater London, England Jul 20, 2009 Bottle: Sweet kiwi aromas, with some almost lagery malts. Huge cherry, Smooth malty delicious notes of honey, cherry and gooseberry with pine sweetness. balsa wood and slight oily dryness. Fuckin phenomenal. probstk (1007), Nepean, Ontario, Canada Jul 19, 2009 500 ml can from LCBO, served at cellar temperature in a goblet. JL19/09.
App.: Deep copper and clear with a so-so off-white head.
Aroma: Inviting caramel and toffee with slight earthy tones, lightly fruity, toast, a little nutty, quite inviting.
Palate: Medium-ish body, fairly sparse carbonation.
Flav.: Burnt sugar, nutty, slightly fruity, not as sweet as the nose, some nice green and peppery hop aromas; dry with some bitterness and lingering light brown sugar.
I enjoy this on tap as well and would like to compare can to keg. Guess I’ll have to sneak a can into the bar sometime... Ferociousaurus (35), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Jul 18, 2009 Pour is a red amber with little head and lacing to speak of. Smell is fruity with a good, understated malt presence. Taste is very malty with a little bit of hop kick that is quite pleasant. Roasty and delicious. I’m a fan.
