Big dense creamy froth with medium hang time. Pours an ambered copper color and yields a fresh malty nose. The flavors here are so smooth and mellow. It’s a creamed amber ale. The texture is fantastic, soft and silky. I could drink this every night. Highly recommended.

Pours a dark ruby color with a medium sized, bubbly, off-white and long lasting head that leaves a good lacing and a small film of foam. The body shows a good amount of sediments in the bottom. Aroma is fruity and malty with notes of cherry, and some ripe berries with a hint of caramel and alcohol. There’s also a little of bread and a coffee-ish touch with some earthy-yeasty traces. Flavor starts with a fruity and slightly tart beginning, very smooth and typically english bittersweet middle and finish. Aftertaste is the greatest thing about this beer leaving some vanilla and red apple acompannied with coffee. Good medium body, a little mild though very smooth. Pretty much a stronger ESB.

The beer exits the 500ml clear bottle a deep copper color, the head piles high on the body, texture semi-creamy and the color light tan, as it slowly evaporates the lace forms a thick blanket to conceal the glass, a bit of dregs coats the bottom of the bottle. Nose is malt sweet, fruit like tones, I’d say over ripe apples, fresh and appealing, start is sweet, the grain profile adequate, top is light in feel. Finish has minimal carbonation, the hops delectable, and at the end a bit of rusty nail bitterness, aftertaste dry, a nice mild beer that is a nice change of pace.

Mixed reviews on this fellow, but i was seriously suprised and impressed. Aroma hints me and i was like wtf, tart white grapes, which becomes almost geuze like because of the yeastyness as it warms and becomes immencly fruity. Taste is also great, fruity with a good sharpness, refreshing yet full, packed full of all sorts of fruits from the yeast and some slight bittering drying hops coming in too. Excellent!

Nice fruity aroma, sligtly opaque look. Fruity flavour with hops notes, slightly nutty. Little bitterness only at the end. Don’t feel strong alcohol in this one. Good.

Pours amber color with slightly tan head. Aroma is of bitter malts with some alcohol. Flavor is very bitter, acidic with a slightly alcohol finish. I’ll have to try this again, because this bottle should not have a 3.+ average.

Copper colored with the aroma of hops, some tannic citrus, and some malt. The taste has that British bitter profile with the hopcit, some malt, and some unsweetened iced tea hints. Some fruit and more hosp emerge as it warms.
