2.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
I hate paying for the pseudo ceramic flip top. It almost makes me want to rate the beer lower just for that. Pours rosy peach colored with a thin head. Nice lightly fruity aroma, slightly yeasty with a malt extract note. Quite sweet and flabby in flavor, metallic and oxidized. Hs some juicy citrus flavors mingled with spicy hops. Finishes fast and watery with a dirty note.

Aroma is nutty, sweet malts also. Taste is similar with again a similar serious yeasty bitter finish.
2.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Flip-cap ceramic bottle. Pours a lush and lively cheddar-yellow, with bits of yeast doing the tango within the body. Volcanic head of creamy white emits whisps of citrus and bread, intermixed with a touch of candy. Intricate lacing on the glass forms a nice, fluffy film. The flavor is a sweet copper with a hint of raw bread dough and some coriander. A touch of orange is also apparent on the recesses of the tongue. A very blunt intitial presentation of dusty flavor settles quickly into a spike on the palate. Bizarre aftertaste of orange bread. Just a touch below average.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Lacks the special flavor and texture to make this a really fantastic beer. while there is a definitive presence of fruits and sweet malts, the astringent bitter. Plus the palate is very thin.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
The aroma is not bad but I think it is suffering a little. It is dusty with an oak/whiskey element. There is also butterscotch, caramel, and yeast. The appearance is copper/gold with a small head. The flavor is like the aroma and a little metallic. The palate is thin. This is drinkable but not a great beer. I am glad I got it before it aged any longer.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Orange blonde color, frothy head. Raisin, mago and sherry in the aroma. Sweet flavor with raisin and sherry once again. Seems oxidated.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Attractive beer. Thin white head with reasonably thick lacing. Light amber in colour, almost apricot, and just a touch cloudy. Mild nose, some spicy malt is the most dominant character, albeit in a subtle manner. Really well balanced flavours; more spicy malt, a touch of alcohol heat. Medium strength finish.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
(Bottle) Pours a cloudy amber body with a small white head. Aroma of apple, breadiness, and caramel. Flavor of malt, light fruitness (pear, apple), dry hoppiness, and caramel with a soft mouthfeel.
