Amber in colour, big white head, hoppy aroma, mild bitter taste with caramel hints. Certainly an Autum drink. Good seasonal from Mac's.

this place really gives microbreweries a bad name if it could still be called one. chewy banana bread with vanilla essence and toilet cleaner

disgusting combination of super-sweet caramel/biscuit malt, grapefruity hops, and banana esters - bleaugh! revolting

Well it has some kick. A little too sour and not a great palate. Not my first choice.

This started with little initial nose on the pour but the hop presence comes through in the taste. The colour is a pleasant deep amber that is true to the taste of Munich, Crystal malt and toffee. The mouthfeel belies the 5% ABV and like Copperhop it finsihes dry on the back palate. Good lacing in the glass.
