A soft brew with a faint malt character and a hoppier, spicier nose.

Pours a clear copper ruby color with a thin lacing eggshell head. Thick caramel toffee malt aroma. Smooth malty body has a light bitterness throughout. Don't really know if this qualifies as an English strong ale, but it's a decent malty full-bodied, yet smooth, brew.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with (thanks!). Poured a dark orange color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of light caramel, light smoke, and light grains (everything on the light side). Tastes of caramel, nuts, and toasted malts. Creamy but thin body.

Brown color with just a slight hue of orange. Bone colored smallish head. Aromas of caramel, aged hops and corn silage. Thin tasting Some mild malt, but because of the thinness in character the hops come out early and make this one taste more like a beer hops tea.
