Captures the soul of beer. It has a maltiness that reminds you that beer is a product of the soil. Balance of malt and hops.

Pours an amber caramel color with a thick white head. Aroma is bitter with hints of fresh hops and lemon citrus. Flavor is bittery with hints of lemon, fresh yeast,nuts and caramel toffee. Pretty good overall. This works on a hot sunny day.

The pour produced a deep resinous body topped of custard-colored head. In the nose toasty caramel appears almost singularly with the slight touch of alcohol. Clearly a simple brew, not offensive in any way but with no enticing complexity. The flavor feels watery, a clear and refreshing mineral water flavor, with the timid appearance of coffee and lemon. Like a harmless lamb there is little sport in assessing this brew but I suppose it has its place on the counter of a British pub where few of the true foxes hide.

Goes down smooth but not very tastey or pleasing. A slight taste of malt, no after taste, long lasting head.

A little darker than most pales. Fantastic solid head. Rich malt flavors. Sublte, soft and earthy. A little skunk. What’s up with the clear bottle?

Nice colour with a nice head. Good lacing. Weak scent that was hard to pick up. Nice cool malty taste. I expected more bitterness from a PA.

These guys make great beers! Orange-brown, aromas of butterscotch, citrus fruit, and gentle perfume. Biscuit and butterscotch-caramel malt flavours, nice fruity hop presence, earthy/minerally finish. Excellent.
