Mid brown coloured with a fruity aroma. Some pale malt. Sharp bitter finish. Magicdave6 (5400), London, Greater London, England Feb 1, 2006 Pours quite flat looking, not much head. Aroma has more malt character than hops, which i wasnt expecting but not bothered by it. Taste is fuller than expected for such a low %, however the hops have a little more to say here and are a good compliment to the lightly roasted malt. Easy to drink, and goes down like ale poured without a sparkler. thedm (3833), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA Dec 26, 2005 This bottled brew poured a medium sized head of frothy fine to large sized mostly diminishing white colored bubbles that left behind a fair lacing. The body contained average carbonation, was transparent with a few yest swirls and copper brown in color. Its aroma contained notes of dirt malty hoppy caramel mild . Its mouth feel is thin mild hop with a lingering slightly tingly mellow palate and a aftertaste. Its flavor contained mild bitter caramel malt hop notes.
