650 ml Bottle. Pours a nice copper colour with minimal foam. Little lacing on the glass on the way down. I love a good bitter and this to me ranks up there with some of the best ones i tasted in England. Yum.

A great example of an ale to mellow out with. Tan ale color with minimal head. aroma of its two hop types. Flavor was slightly bitter with a soothing palate and just a slight metal finish. Best to be enjoyed at an all wood bar with a fireplace.

Bottled. Amber colour with mediumsized creamy white head that leaves slight lace. Aroma is fruity and flowery hops along with some mild notes of cookies/biscuits. Flavour is mostly caramel malts meeting bitter hopping. Quite nice ESB, a style I usually have a very hard time to like.

660 ml bottle, Fargo, ND, USA. Faint hazyness to the pale amber colour. Heavy lacing, frothy foam head. Spice, stone fruit aroma, deep bitterness underneath relatively bright fruit flavor. Complex finish that turns to raisins and burnt caramel.

Bottle @ ChristianScheffel. Pours cloudy golden with a creamy white head. Lots of fresh hops. Peachy and grassy hops. Medium and smooth palate. Crispy hoppy flavor with a bit of buiscuit. Nice session beer right here.

Bottle. Pours a deep orange colour with thin beige head. Nice hoppy aroma of apricots. Nice fresh hop flavor very full mouthfeel. Malt balances extremely well with the hops. Very well made beer.

Bottle from back log. This is not my favorite of styles. Malty dry aroma and taste. Bitter finish.
