This bottled brew poured a medium sized head of foamy fine to large sized off-white colored mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a fair lacing. The body was a transparent softly carbonated brown color with some swirls of brown yeast in it. The aroma was mild with malty and musty notes. The mouth feel was smooth initially then melded into a tingly finish. The flavor contained notes of caramel malt and mildly bitter hops. Over-all, it was well-balanced and very drinkable. A good session brew.

Bottle. Small sized off-white head that was creamy and smooth with fine-small sized bubbles. Carbonated, transparent and an orange hue. Malty, hoppy and fruity aroma. Light bitter, malty and hoppy flavor. Mouthfeel was smooth and dry. Fair lacing. Recommended.

Golden, small head. Has a fruity aroma, and fruit is there in the flavor as well. Sweetish and a little dry.

Golden/amber, some what hazy. Aroma is malty but a little weak. Flavor is mild, it brings citrus and some hops. Soapy mouthfeel.

I don't know, something is missing from this beer. It could use more hops or something. Not a good beer.

Amber coloured. Quite bitter and slightly fruity. Rather thin. An average bottled bitter.
