3/11/05 500ml. Amber with tan head. Nice hoppy aroma A little thin on the malts with a quick ending. Bland.

Aroma is quite skunky. Pour is very pretty though very foamy. Nice lacy head that remains about 1/2 to 1 inch thick. Pleasant slightly sour flavour that is richly complex--slightly fruity but rich with malt tones.

Bottled(500ml). –Clear amber coloured, medium to big head, pleasant malty and fruity nose. Sweet malty, nice hoppy and fruity aroma with notes of alcohol. Much better than similar beers that I’ve tried. Lot of sediment at the bottom. Very nice ale.

Fairly complex - malty aroma with orangey hops, pours amber and slightly opaque with small white head. tangy, bittersweet, smooth, warming. flavours of toffee and bitter oranges, very pleasant.

Clear and deep reddish amber body with a medium foamy slightly tanned head. Burnt caramel on the nose. Dry and bitter flavour and taste with a fruity palate with nuances of toffee, liquorice and a dry bitterhoppy finish.

Bottle at Cardinal. Caramel, malt, sweetness and some hops in the aroma. The flavor is quite malty and sweet, with hops coming stronger towards the finish, which is quite hoppy and pleasant. There’s something pleasant about this beer that I couldn’t get, but maybe it’s just that. Pleasant that is. (070623)

Interesting orange hue. Aromatic and fruity. Hoppy too. Not a bad beer. The Hen’s Tooth has enough going on to keep things interesting and is quaffable too.

Bottle-Great big giant head amber color. The aroma was slightly citrus and malt. Flavor was shunky and yeasty and not very good.
