The bottle presents very well although I had to try hard to get a decent sort of head whilst pouring this beer. Coppery amber coloured body with a off-white head. Some traces of lacing but hardly worth commenting about. The aroma made you take notice at least, at first I thought it was malt - bread, then I was switching to hops - fresh, pine and citrus. Taste was ok but nothing outstanding, pleasant bitterness, some caramel and butterscotch, some fruit maybe pear, medium light body and the finish hangs around in your mouth for a fair while.

Bottle: Slightly hazy amber hue with little head or lace. The aroma has notes of toasted and carmalized malts, earthy yeast, and aromatic hops. The taste starts witha fruity overtone of apple and pear, caramel malts, and some notes of a nutty quality. The palate shows little depth and the taste only changes a bit as it warms up. The feel is smooth and dry. This is a beer I would like to try in cask version since the bottle seems to be "dumbed down" for export.

Clear amber color. Hoppy malty aroma. A nice balanced malty bitterness with a dry finish. A really nice bitter on a hot day.

Clear orange coloured, small head. Malty aroma, bitter flavour. Typical bitter brew. Although i’m not a big fan of the style this one was quite ok.

A red beer with a small beige head. The aroma is very hoppy and the flavor is very dry and hoppy. A very simple beer but OK.
