Clear reddy amber body with no head. Mainly light caramel showing in both aroma and taste. Not too sure about this beer need to try it again sometime.

330ml bottle. Coppery teak colour with a full caramel coloured foam crown. Sweet aromas of caramel, hops and malt. Smooth on the palate and very easy to drink as it is hoppy and mildly bitter. O good effort and I look forward to trying the rest of the range from Lobethal.

Tap. Quite a dark amber for the style with a small beige head. Aroma of nectarines, caramel, pine and kumquats. Creamy texture with a little too much fizz. Taste has some sweetish caramel with touches of stone fruits followed by a firm bitter finish. Good sessionable beer that’s not polished but is balanced.

Bottle 330ml. Great beer. Aromas of caramel, cherries, and pine. Taste starts sweet, with bitterness gently taking over. Palate is velvety, and medium bodied. Dark amber, with a frothy head.

Solid beer. Works the style well, particularly on the nose with great cut of hops and mildly caramalised malts. Slightly more aggressive to taste as some IPA-like metallic flavours come through. Quite fizzy, perhaps to a mild fault.

No out of the ordinary pale ale but well rounded and balanced and easy going. Solid quaffer ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draught at Kings Head Hotel, Adelaide. Dark amber with a small off white head. Nice fruity aroma of lychee and citrus and biscuit malt. The flavour is bursting with juicy hop flavours made up of tropical fruit and a good malt backbone of biscuit malt gives support. Smooth and bitter in the mouthfeel with a noticeable resiny hop presence. An extremely quaffable pale ale.

Pours ruby with a nice head that quickly fades to a layer. Aroma shows loads of juicy, fruity hops with some piney resin as well. A fair bit of clean malt is present. Lots of caramelised and almost toasty malt flavours show through, but seem almost harsh. Quite prominent bitterness, though the malt still overshadows. Carbonation is too high.

wtf i’ve seen stouts paler than this "pale" ale - well only one really (that sri lankan one whatever it was called) but if this was daylight the sun is definitely behind the hills already. appearance = 7 pm. aroma = 7 am after it has rained in a pine forest. and perhaps the campers are toasting some bread for breakfast - it’s probably estonian black rye bread - and have just halved a grapefruit with brown sugar. flavour is fat, earthy/malty and sweet and then citric and bitter. like arrogant bastard watered down, at least in the dark crystal malt and yank hops combination. clean and flavoursome, but just not the sort of beer i’m into - similar to moobrew’s dark ale with some extra body.

Bottle. Pours dark brown. Not expected for the style. Dense slightly off white head that hangs around for a while leaving really nice lacing. Great aromas of citrus & pine hops balanced by biscuit and toasted malt. Flavours show heaps of resiny hops with heaps of malt in the background. Finish is quite bitter thanks to both the hops and troasted malt. Canbonation is a little too high so the mouthfeel is a little off but a great beer all the same
