Apr 10, 2008 Bottle. Pours amber with an off white head. Sweet malt aroma with notes of brown sugar and caramel. Medium body. Flavor is light and balanced, similar to the aroma but with an additional earthy note. Pretty good.

Feb 12, 2008 Pours a clear darker amber brown. No head. Nose is quite malty and caramel toned in a very minimal sense. Seems to be a leafy hint on the back side. Whew. The flavor is...tangy shall we say. The first hit almost goes right back out. The second swig is not nearly so shocking on the tastebuds, but things still aren’t working here. Feel is nice, but this just isn’t doing it for me. Sorry sweetheart, but you’ve got to go.

Jan 26, 2008 April 2006 - Cider brown pour with decent head and nice lacing. Alcohol nose. Rich full, beer, caramel, a touch of perfumey honey with a bitter finish. Well done.

Jan 21, 2008 Tap at Barcade. Hazy amber beer with a fine-laced off-white head. Aroma is very fruity, oranges, plums and apples/pears on the nose. Pale malts and a soft fruitiness. Flavour is quite sweet and fruity, but not cloying at all. Loads of berries and cherries with lots of apple/pear esters that are really apparent. A bit of spiciness and moderate earthy hops. Moderate bitterness just balancing the sweet estery component of the brew. It’s not really wintery, but it’s pretty nice.
