On tap at C’est What? Very reddish amber with a thin white head. Has a sweet and fruity aroma. The interesting fruitiness that just does not quit. A medicinal tang whips into the fold. The palate is not chewey, but not watery either. This has a serious sweetness that frames some cardamom.

[1316-20080420] Tap. Mild aroma of chopped banana and mild grainy grassy field. Slightly hazy, orange amber body with a medium-lasting foamy almond head. Flavour is a little spicy citrus and mostly blended grainy malt and heavy yeast. Medium body is a little grainy. Interesting, fairly boozy. (6/4/7/3/14) 3.4

[1378B-20080523] Tap. Grainy fruit aroma, not much there. Clear, dark amber brown body with a long-lasting creamy off-white head. Fruity cranberry flavour. Medium body has a tangy aftertaste. Average. (5/4/6/3/14) 3.2

Spices gingery scent, hazy redish pour. Very spicy taste. An overpowering mix of flavours. Very odd beer.

Draught. At C’est What. Hazy amber, average draught head. The aroma’s really sweet, vaguely like a quad (spice and yeast), a little grassy. The taste really is a let-down - pretty much boozy bubblegum. Avearge body, slick, lively, a bit boozy - and quite disappointing - could have been good.

Appearance: Fine haze , amber with light haze of woody brown. Medium creamy top.
Nose : Fresh , aromatic , fruity with neat hop feel. Good malty backing.7+
Flavor/Palate : Slight sourness , medium good depth with fresh light bittering. Nice set up with good complexity. Swing of malt, fruit, gentle hopping with something extra.
