Bottled. Amber colour with a small white head. Aroma is sweet malts, some wooden notes, mild toasted caramel as well as some toffee and nutty notes. Flavour is quite similar, but quite thin in palate and mild in flavours.

Bottle shared by Joes. Clear medium amber color, small white head. Smell malts and lightly sweet. Taste malts, bitter. Little buttery. Decent bitter though. Medium carbo, low body.

Bottle. Chestnut gold. Thinnish off white foam. Caramel, spice, a little ash and some citrus on the nose. Citric pang on the tongue, without really being fruity. Mostly caramellic tastes, with some spruce resins. Finish is bitter, but again really lacks any particular taste... just bitter. Decent for a session, I guess.

500ml bottle - ruby red body, thin white head, heavy hoppy nose. A massive kick of hops, then a mouthful of sourness. Long aftertaste with a medium body, not bad.
