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.

550ml bottle from Bentalls, Kingston-on-Thames. Amber with a thin white head; sweet sultana aroma; earthy caramel malt flavours, with some sweet biscuit, and a rather sweet raisin finish. Much to sweet for my taste.

Close to as good as a UK ale ets. Sweet at first followed by grippy raisens and plums. Nice copper colour and usual small thin head.

Bottle (55 cl) at Café 3 små rum, shared with thomat & egon. Clear amber, medium off-white head. Caramelly with vague earthy hops. Medium carbonation, low bitterness. Very boring.

Yep the description is right, this is agreat balance of malt and hops! The only problem i have with this is the prickly mouth feel other wise it’s a pleasure to drink!

Clear dark copper color, creamy lasting off-white head. Malty, wort, sweet, bread, sirup scent, also a tad bit hoppy. Sweet, sirup, malty, vread, caramel taste. Moussy mouthfeel, medium bitterness.

Orange-brown copper pour into thick foamy tan head that slowly dissipates into ring of foam that hangs around the edge of the glass into melting lacing. Carbonated bubbles slowly rise from the bottom of the glass into a pool of foam in the center at the surface. Aroma of sweet malty citrus with a slight hoppy balance. Initial flavor of sweet caramel malt that fades into a buttery, slightly hoppy finish.

550 ml. bottle. Pours a light tan head of good duration, over a light brown body...nose of malts, no flowery hops here....tastes of mild to medium malts, with a mild chemical taste in mid "chew" with minimal hop bittering toward the end....mouth feel is lighter than expected.
