COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle: Filtered.
"It is a deep coppery-red in colour and is very aromatic with intensely floral hops and a lightly sweet and malty flavour. This full-bodied ale offers a very pleasant high bitterness, with smooth sweet malt character, creamy head with good carbonation, and with an excellent bittersweet finish."

355ml bottle pours a pale amber color with a finger of white head that leaves little lacing behind. Aroma is light cereal grainy and flowery hops. Taste is light malty sweetness and a light floral hop bitterness. A slightly below average brew for this style.

Suttree (3765) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - JAN 1, 2012
Reddish orange, nice foamy white head. Smells like caramel, tastes lke caramel. Some canned corn as it warms, so I guess the colder the better for this one.

33 cl. Clear copper-amber with a lasting foam. Nose is spicy caramel with a touch of grilled corn and nutty dry grass. Flavor is lightly spicy caramel, dry grass, toast and a hint of cocoa. Medium-heavy body is smooth and sweetish, but not overly so. Pleasant surprise with this one.
