Bottle, poured a clear copper with a large white rocky head. A musty malt aroma with a touch of fruit salad. Smooth with a partially sweet malt flavour and lots of fruit. A very light bitterness and nice long finish. Very enjoyable.

Pours a light golden colour with a white head. A nice grassy smell with citric hints. A bitter hop taste, but balanced with some nice juicey flavours. A lingering slightly sweet after-taste. A nice pale ale.

The aroma is very liquidish, a hint of bitterness the taste reminds me of plains. The appearance of the beer was relative unexciting but still eyecatching. I foind it to be pale, orange, clear in colour and slightly sparkling, a frothy white foam head an interesting consistency between you fingers and lips. In flavour it appears with medium bitterness, lightly sour rather evaporating in the mouth; the palate feels a light body, thin feel with soft carbonation but nonetheless a good long finish.

Bottle. Dark amber colour, with a cream coloured head, that faded quickly. Malty nose, sweet, and some hops. Taste is dry and long, bitter bite. Not much carbonation. Strong metallic aftertaste. Good drinker.

Bottle. Amber, bronze colour with a slim white head. Malty aroma with some citrus and hops. Similar for the taste with a long dry bitter finish. There is a bit of that stale taste I associated with pasteurised, but it’s not fatal. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation. Not bad.
