Medium amber color with medium head. Malt sweetness dominates. Little hop flavor. Solid body.

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is lots of fruity and flowery hops. Flavour is caramel malts, some sweet fruityness as well as some mild grainy notes. Balanced. Grassy finish.

burnt orange with decent french vanilla head. Malts and sugars dominate the flavor profile but there is some earthy hopiness going on backstage and it makes a curtain call in the finish

(Bottled) Slightly hazy amber with a very small head. Aroma is strong in both maltiness and nutty-aromatic hops - maybe slightly stuffy. Flavor of nutty hops, some dried fruit, grainy malt. Medium to full body, low carbonation. A solid strong ale with pleasant hopping.

Bottled (PBF). Clear pale amber color, small white head. Bready hoppy aroma. Starts light and metallic ... then bready hoppy. Very simple, fruity hoppy, almost APA-like flavor.
