2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20Bottle. Amber with a small off-white head. Grainy aroma with some light citrus and grapes. A little watery. Mild bready sweetness, some orange and grass, decent bitterness. OK, just rather thin.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Very clean beer, light hop aroma with light maltiness and crystal malt. Flavour is clean and has well balanced bitterness with a light-med palate. I prefer a bit more malt character to an amber personally but not a bad beer.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Poured a clear amber colour with a thin light tan bubbly head that didn’t lace. Moderate to high carbonation. Aroma of floral hops, sweet malt and subtle roasted grain. Taste of sweet malt and moderate floral hops bitterness. Light body. Average.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at Y&J. Nice and malty. Aromas of nuts and caramel. Taste is sweet, with bitter notes, and average length. Palate is velvety, and medium bodied. Amber, with a frothy head.

2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
From a 345ml bottle. Copper bronze pour with thin off white head. Nose and taste is largely sweet caramel crystal malts with a mild floral hop bitterness. Lightish body. OK but, once again for this brewery, a bit too sweet for me.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours deep amber with a small head.
Nose shows soft vegetal notes, caramel and faint nutty notes.
Pretty plain flavours. A bit of caramel and nutty malt but other than that just grainy malt.
Body feels watery.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
330ml bottle from Dan Murphy’s . Carries a nice nutty caramel aroma that a good amber ale should. More copper than amber in colour and has a decent sized head of soft foam that collapses to leave a level head. Light in the mouth and goes down easy with a nutty malt flavour. I was a bit skeptical about this beer but it is well worth a try.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle- Pours a clear dark amber color with a decent head that fades to bits of lacing. Aroma of citrus and mild malt sweetness with a bit of grain. Taste of citrus and mild malt sweetness. Mild bitterness and a clean finish. Fairly light body, smooth but a bit shy on flavor. Decent drinker, a non-offrnsive beer that is quite tame.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Thinly looking in the glass and headless like all the beers of this range. Deep, russet copper in body and bright as bright. Salted caramel, fresh baked white bread, dried orange rind and pepper on the nose atop a musty liquor note. Adequate body, relatively dry and nutty with a dominant malt presence. Low hops offer just a little hint of herbal spice to the aftertaste. Bready, burnt toast linger with a hint of orange rind. Not much here! (33cL, BB 21/09/13, BWS Quinns Rocks)
