50 cL can. Pours deep brown with an orange/amber hue and a dense tan head. Light roasted malt, mild berry fruity and light acidic aroma. Flavour is watery malty and somewhat strange and almost vegetable like. Light roasted note in the finish. Far finish holds a solid bitterness and a light berry fruity note.

Enjoyed this brew. It has a lovely red hue, however I really did not enjoy the scent of the brew - can’t say why - just didn’t. The flavor rocks - it is extremely well tempered on the palate as well. Overall a great beer, but I would let it sit for a while before drinking to let it air...Cheers

Can. Average bubbly beige head that mostly diminished. Sparkling clear body with a pale mahogany color. Aroma of light toasted malt, yeast, caramel, hint of floral and some underlying grainy notes. Over the palate come light grassy notes with a hint of ash. Light bodied with a soft carbonation and light dry texture. Light bitter flavor with some counter sweetness. Light dry and toasted malty finish.

Bottiglia da 50cl all’Exultate con una pizza prosciutto e funghi completamente RICOPERTA di prosciutto. La birra versa colore rossiccio con scarsa schiuma, aroma dolce e sbruciacchiato, sapore inizialmente molto dolce poi subentra un poco di amarezza del luppolo ma non è abbastanza per non farla apparire un poco stucchevole. Corpo leggero, fin troppo. Buonina, ma non eccezionale... ce ne saranno migliaia di bitter così.

Instantly inviting. The strong roasted malt is not over-powering. Well balanced hoppiness. A true English taste, almost like a "light Bass Ale".

Pours into a light coffee color w/ a light tan head. Medium bodied. Pretty smooth on the palate. Not bad, lagerboy.

bottle. smelled like citrus and yeast.amber brown color with a large head that went away slowly. the head was very malty looking. this is a very good looking beer. great lacing. I am not a huge fan of fruity flavored beer but this one is damn good. it’s got an orange flavor mixed with malt. very well balanced. I will get this one again.
