Beautifully balanced, complex taste with great mouthfeel and drinkability. Long aftertaste. Can well understand why this is Inspctor Morse’s favourite!

550ml bottle, shared with Alicia. Minimal off-white head. Mildly hazy amber / red color. Kind of a fruity malty flavor. Mild bitter. Lighter, crisp carbonation. Moderate aftertaste, but the flavor isn’t amazing. I’ve met some people that rave about this, but personally, it’s not my thing..

12oz bottle pours hazy copper with a nice head. Aromas of caramel toffee malts some funky but good earth notes. Flavor is bitter and sour has a real good taste to it. Body is medium and finish leaves a good taste.

Dark amber or copper color - fairly clear. Medium head that dissipates fairly quickly. Pretty strong bitter taste with lingering aftertaste. Earthy, basement aromas. Medium body, light carbonation.

Pours hazy medium brown with a thick tan head , lots of lace.. Scent is old basement and caramel. Taste is slightly bitter, robust aged caramel, bread, toffee and tea. Very nice....excellent balanced taste.

Bottle. Red amber with a white head. Light nose. Grass and mild citric hops. Dry rather than sweet malt. Pretty nice.

Aroma, faint old funk, malt Color, copper amber white head taste, at first at little bitter, then neat Vanilla cream soda finsh? overall, pretty good!

Pours a hazy amber with a small white lasting beige with good retention. Aroma and Taste is sweet caramel malt, some citrus and fruity notes, some yeast and bread, with some light piney hops. A medium body brew with moderate carbonation on the palate with a smooth mouthfeel. Finishes with a good sweet caramel malt character, some yeast, followed by some fruity citrus notes ending with some good bitter hops to balance the sweetness. Overall a good, balanced session brew.

Clear copper with a big head. Aroma is buttery and metallic with faint lemony notes. Flavour is roasted grain, clean lemony hops, with lingering mild bitter aftertaste. Dry, refreshing, and easy to drink.
