Crystal clear apple juice body with no head. Aroma is medium sweet, some spice. Taste is medium sweet, spice, some apple, honey. Watery light body with virtually no carbonation.

On draught Feb 2005. Clear golden colored beer, with a small white head and an aroma of dry yeast, lightly herbal hops and some grainy/lightly metallic malt. Flavor is rather unremarkable, this is no Anchor Steam, that’s for sure. I like the style, but this seems to just dumb it down to an unflavored, boring, nothingness. Drinkable, of course, but very uninspiring. Medium-light body, moderate to too much carbonation.

Nice draught - mellow body, not too malt-heavy. Has a not too stiff hoppy taste and a distinctive finish. Not too muddled or complex, but a reliable steam beer that would suffice any time I'm at that ABC pub. It's no Anchor Steam but it's nice.

Has a golden/amber color with a malted smell. Taste is malted and finishes slightly hopped. Overall not much to it, pretty average.

Deep golden color with a thin head and good lace. Slightly sweet malty aroma with a slight hop undertone. Sweet malty flavor with a slight hoppiness and some fruitiness. Light to medium bodied and smooth.
