Pours a dark and cloudy brownish-gold. Smells sweet with a light hop presence. Beer is very satisfactory, neither to bland or sweet the hops are strong upon first sip but wear off. Has a caramel malt flavor that is also very light. Finishes by leaving the aftertaste of the hops. Though medium bodied, a very good sipping ale whether you want to take your time or down it.

From bottle bottle pours amber with a large off-white head. Aroma is soft mainly powdery malt with a light note of straw. Flavor is mostly malt with a mild sweetness, honey, and very light grass. Palate runs from sweet to just a touch of dry bitter, but very thick mouthfeel. Overall, nice easy drinking, not much complexity.

Visited Portland Pub and restricted myself to only one pint of this gem. Could have had many more. Medium caramel, with light floral tones. This earthy, golden,deqd guy visited my taste buds with unnerving ease and its hazy, frothy, medium sweetnessliquid puored my soul to sleep. I forgot about how expensive it was to park in Portland and for a moment i was in beer bliss. Other notes: smooth and not bitter, average carbonation, long blissful finish,

Orange slightly cloudy pour. Aroma isn’t heavy but fairly complex. Sweet honey maltiness, grapefruit hops, and a little yeasty. Medium body, quite smooth. Not strong flavours - starts out with that malty caramel, a little orange in the back. Finish is fairly dry but bitter. Leaves a little nutty bitterness. I don’t love it but it’s pleasant, smooth and pretty mild.

Bottle bought back from the states. Rich malty nose, little bit of red fruit. Orange colour with White head that has disappeared in seconds. I’m enjoying this quite alot just because it’s nice not to be tasting hops for a chance. Nice smooth mouthfeel. Taste is Lovely malty honey gorgeousness.

Orange color with off white head. Very pronounced malty smell. Sweet but not overpowering taste. Spicy hoppy aftertaste is very welcome and cuts through the malt.
Very surprising beer and very nice packaging.

Haven’t had this in a long time. Pours slightly hazy, dark orange with a nice dense off white head. Nose is very grainy, caramel, nuts and some earthy hops. This smells like raw wort and sweet malt. Wow. Flavor is more mellow and rounded out sweet malts, nuts and toffee. Has some nice hop flavor as well. Possible of the noble variety. Medium full body. Really a pretty good beer. Easy to drink and sweet but not cloying.
