500 ml bottle. Copper colour. Crystal clear. Tall white fluffy head. Estery aroma with a strong apple character. Caramel are also present with other complex malty and rich aromas. Hints of yeast. Crisp flavours. Rich malty flavours with caramel and chocolate. Medium-bodied. Finishes with a clean hop bitterness that lingers. Some sugary flavours towards the finish.

bottle. large head that went away slowly. smelled very hoppy. lots of carbonation in the palate. kind of has a watery after taste which is odd for a winter beer but not bad. amber color. this beer kind of reminds me of a strong "bitter". will have this again.

550 ML Bottle-Hazy amber color w/a moderate tan head & good lacing. Very easy drinking brew, flavors of caramal, toffee, nuts, & sweet roasted malt. Not overly complicated, but very enjoyable. Seems to be the mark of this brewer, they just make a lot of good, easy drinking brews; nothing wrong with that! Long, smooth malt finish, would be a good sesson brew, alcohol is well hidden.

Has an amber color with a white head. Has a mildly sweet malt aroma which translates into a sweet malt taste accompanied by a bitter finish. Not bad.
