Pours a three finger off-white head that fades to a thin layer leaving a little lace. Almost clear, amber color. Light carbonation and light-medium bodied. Woody apple nose. Starts nearly balanced with moderate hops, finish is distinctly hoppy but not as harsh as American pales. Tastes fresh even with a best before Feb 28, 2005. $3.69 for a 500ml bottle from Lina’s Beverages Painesville, OH.

Bottle, 500ml. A clear dark amber colour with a small head. Good aromas of malt and plum. Taste is roasted malts, caramel, plum, peach and a little hoppiness. Moderate carbonation. A sweet, slightly acidic, lightly bitter finish. This is quite tasty.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Not as rich as i would have liked. Aroma gives berry fruits, lightly toffee malts and floural hops. Taste is similar with not as much sweetness off the malts as i would have liked.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours coppery-amber colored with light carbonation visible through a honey-haze. A HUGE, khaki head took a long time to settle. Musty aroma of roasty pralines with an undertow of lemony, grassy hops. Sweet, candied, nutty flavor with a soft yet syrupy thickness. Artificial fruitiness of cherries and lemons chimes in. Over the course of the beer, I could not decide whether or not I liked it, but it turns out that I found it rather cloying and thought the flavors didn’t mesh.

2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle, picked up at the Dodgy Deli’, Cowley Rd, Oxford, 15-09-06. Reddy amber coloured beer which has a slight haze despite my best efforts at pouring and was very lively as though it couldn’t wait to get out of the bottle, with the off-white coloured head going everywhere but in the glass. Definate fruity aroma but mores so of rich dried fruits, malty and bitter in the taste and whilst it was enjoyable enough not really my thing.
