Draft. A golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and bread. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, alcohol, and bread, as well as lighter notes of metal and fruit, leading to a dry bready finish, where also a light note of metal lingers.

On tap at brewpub. Color was a golden with not much white head. Aroma of caramel malt, alcohol, with a bit of fruit in there. Not that interesting of an aroma, but quite solid. Flavor was a bit more balanced than expected; some caramel, some fruit, with a solid bitter presence in the finish.

From tap at the brewpub. Pours clear and golden yellow to orange with a small white head. Sweet cornish, light caramelish and hoppy fruity aroma. Flavour is bitter, light fruity and with a light caramelish malt base.

On tap. Clear deep golden with a small white head. Intense aroma of clean malts and alcohol. Quite full-bodied with a very solid malt base. The bitterness in the finish is somewhat unrefined but overall it’s a well crafted example of the style. 050709
