500ml bottle. Appearance is clear and amber/dark gold. Not much from the aroma but hops. Taste and overall score are high though as i found this so drinkable. Not too exciting for a bitter and not very complex but i thought it was great.

50cl bottle shared by Dutchdrebus. Hazy yellow-golden color, medium sized quickly diminishing white head that leaves fair lacing. Smell malts, slightly butter, lightly some fruits. Taste malts, again slightly butter, lightly fruits and bitterness. No hops really...not very pronounced anyway. Medium carbonation, low to medium body.

Bottle @ home. Clear golden orange colour with a quickly shrinking head. Smells malty, slightly sweet, not much else. Tastes iron, sweet malts, some herbs. Thin body, soft to no carbo.

Bottle. Clear amber ale with a hoppy aroma with orange. Tastes on the sweeter side of bittersweet with banana. A bit watery but the finish is bitter enough to keep it interesting.

500ml brown bottle from Asda. Hogs Back used to bottle condition, but then some beers got infected, so now they filter (brewery condition is the phrase they use). This is a pleasant caramel and fruit tasting pale amber beer. Some hops provide a balance to the pleasant caramel sweetness. It’s a drinkable and pleasant beer.

Bottle @ Bandlys Blålys, Odense 2012. Pours clear golden with a small white head. Fruit, marmelade, grain and dust. Medium bodied. Dry and short end.

Bottle at home. Clear golden pour, thin white head. Aroma is grainy, somewhat murky, cheap pilsener and faint grassy hops. Flavor is watery sour grainy murky pilsener with a little bitterness. Very boring.

Bottle. Colour is lightly amber, medium white head. Nose is very grainy malt, baked bread, sweet caramel. Taste is grainy husky malt, bread and sweetish malt, honey.

Bottle. Golden with a rapidly disappearing head. Aromas are caramel with pear and pineapple. Raisins with hints of banana. Flavours are sweet, fruity malts with brown sugar and ripe, earthy pear. Lemon on the finish with dry tea and gentle hops. OK.

Bottle, bought Cockney Pub, Aarhus. Clear to hazy amber with a small, creamy, white head. Aroma has sweet, light unfermented malts, light caramel, some fruity notes. Medium carbonation, fine dryish mouthfeel. Flavour has toasted caramel, grassy and floral hops. A bit dry and bitter. Okay.
