joe19612 (1113) - camberley, Surrey, ENGLAND - JUN 3, 2007

Bottle Conditioned. Poured a real brown amber colourwith a thin white head. Loads of hops, malts, and fruit in the aroma. The taste is full of flavour of malts and hops with roasted nuts which come through.

SubstanceT (1092) - Saint Louis, Missouri, USA - MAR 14, 2004

Amber golden with a thin white head that is shortly lasting. The nose is light flowery hops and not to harsh but smoothe and filling. The taste has hops in it but not so bitey and very drinkable. I am honest with myself in saying that I liked this BECAUSE it is lighter in the hops and not too overpowering.

kujo9 (1085) - North Ridgeville, Ohio, USA - MAR 26, 2004

Medium amberish w/a short lived off white head of tiny bubbles! Sweet malty aroma w/an herbal hop on first sniff. Hop aroma becomes more floral as it warms and also becomes more caramelly and toasty malt. Also lightly nutty! Flavor is bitter with a nice malt back bone. Light caramel and toasty, very light roast and has a dry finish. Not terribly complex, but a nice session beer. Medium bodied w/ low carbonation, however it's sort of prickly on the tongue, otherwise fairly smooth

Bottle. Murky copper, nice cloudy pale head. Mildly caramel malty nose, dried ginger, apple. Flavor is apple pie, spices, bitter orange, dull earthy bitterness. Very stuffy. A bit watery palate. Not really my thang.
