Clean golden colour with nice white to off white head. Aroma is malt and hop not too strong but there. Flavour is mellow and grainy. Nothing to fantastic but it is definitely something that you could sit down with and enjoy as a great tasting beer that you don’t have to think about.

[1553-20080730] 500mL bottle. Grainy malt aroma has some plastic notes. Slightly hazy, medium orange brown body with a long-lasting creamy off-white head. Grainy metallic malt flavour. Medium body has a bit of kick. "Inert" but fair.

500 ml bottle from LCBO, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass.

App.: Clear deep golden, fair white head. Aroma: Fruity malts – apples as usual!, light tree fruits, slightly funky earthiness, not much else... Palate: Medium-ish body, soft carbonation. Flav.: Some of the light fruity malts, a bit of earthy, leafy hops; dry with only a hint of bitterness, nothing much on the finish.

Wells Smoldering Brass. BORING.

Bouteille 500ml, courtoisie de Blanboy. De couleur dorée-orange et claire. Nez de de houblon herbeux (gazon, notes de foin et traces de menthe), de grains de malt pâle, léger de fruits (agrumes) et avec des notes de miel. Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture aux notes aqueuses. Goût moyen amer de houblon herbeux (gazon, une amertume présente toute la gorgée) accompagné d’un léger goût fruité (agrumes) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de grains de malt pâle avec des notes de miel et des traces de biscuits puis en finale l’amertume de houblon reprend le dessus en étant herbeux et légèrement asséchant (foin) ainsi qu’avec des notes florales. Post-goût moyen-court et légèrement sec, moyennement amer de houblon herbeux avec de faibles notes fruitées (zest d’agrumes).
