worldbeertaste (1123) - Lancashire, ENGLAND - SEP 21, 2012
Solid amber with a quick disappearing, no lace, off-white head. Light fruity smell with lots of malt, caramel, and light hops. Medium thin body with lively carbonation. Sweet fruity malty taste, toasted with toffee, and slightly earthy and a light bitter slightly acidic dry finish. Nice fruity malty balance against the citrus bitterness. Yet, simple and not special.

Bottle bought on local Tesco and shared with MichaelBruch. Aroma of nuts, grains and cereals. Taste of sour mash, blackberries, nuts and caramel. Okay-like but nothing special.

500ml bottle pours a slightly cloud amber color with a small white head that keeps some nice lacing. Aroma is roasted malts. Taste is a bit sweet with some hoppy bitterness. Body is quite watery but good beer.

500ml bottle - ruby red body, thin white head. No real aroma, a bit hoppy, but not much. Slightly tangy, nothing special.

HeistAlmighty (819) - Saint John, New Brunswick, CANADA - AUG 28, 2012
500ml bottle. Unfiltered orange brown, with a moderate head. Kind of a brown bread aroma, slight earth and herbal hops. Taste is mild, some toffee malt, brown bread and some earthy fuggles. Palate is creamy and a little sticky. Overall, taste is a little thin, but a not

Sensei_Tohru (32) - Cheshire, ENGLAND - JUL 24, 2012
This ale is a golden-red with little to no head. The smell is full of wastums (fruits), with a hint of caramel. The smatch (taste) is more bitter than sweet. The beer flat in the mouth, but smooth in feel. Overall, I would say that this is a fine ale for a hot day.

Copperish colour, slighty off-white head. Aroma is a bit fruity and malty, the taste is watery, metallic, some citrus and more malt. Not a great beer. Fairly standard stuff.
