Golden amber color with a frothy white head. Sweet malty aroma with hints of caramel, spices and bread. Flavor is sweet and clean of toasty malt, caramel and some sweet dried fruit with a hint of light hop-bitternes in the finish.

Orange bodied with tones of light brown. Nose is mild. Flavor is hoppy with a touch of caramel sweetness and maybe a hint of chestnuts. Finish is somewhat long and is also bitter.

Clear amber pour with a foamy head. Aroma is mostly sweet toasty malt, with just a hint of spicy citrus hop. Flavor is big on the caramel malt as well. There is a good hoppy bite on the finish. Not too complex, but pretty good.

Good. Coppery red appearance. Nice creamy white head. Strong, malty aroma caramel, sweetness. Nice malty flavor with a bite in the end. Not too strong on hops but not weak either. Flavor doesn’t have the taste that the aroma promises.

Pours a clear copper, amber color. Medium creamy white head with excellent retention and good lacing. Aroma is mild, with bread and roasted malt notes. Flavor is similar, with just a hint of caramel sweetness and a decent hop bite. A very nice, well-balanced beer.
