Sample at Zax on September 27, 2009 with mamaP. Light, clear amber orange color. Slow steady carb. Lasting, patchy lacing. Sweet amber aroma. Stereotypical amber malt flavor. A textbook light amber brew. Ana says it has a bitter bite, but I don’t notice...

Tin, 355ml, pasteurised from Bellingers Garage, Grove, Oxon. Red amber with white head. Looking good is about the best it gets, there is a cardboardy carbonation flavour with a dull caramel note. It is fairly sweet and fruity with a grainy malt. Not particularly very good.

12oz bottle, best if consumed before Aug. ’09. Clear orange with a small beige head, fading to a thick ring quickly. Sweet caramel and dry toast are the aroma. There is a light lager fruitiness as well, after nosing it a while. Flavor follows suit with plenty of caramel and toast--faint earth, too. Minimal bitterness in the finish. A tinge of floral hops showed up a ways through the swallow. Smooth medium body with light carbonation. Nothing exceptionally exciting, but better than I’d hoped.

The beer has a copper body, that is very clean. The head initially is fluffy, but fades into a thin white collar. The aroma has a mild malt accent, some wet cardboard, and a little soap (most likely the yeast strain). The flavors are very gentle, with a little honeyed malt soem mild hops, and some subtle spice. The drink is very tasty, with a nice creamy velvet softness. It’s an exceptional session. Nice.
