Jan 8, 2009 Updated: Jan 18, 2009Bottle (330ml). Shared by blankboy with me and garthicus. Clear light amber with a smallish white head. Dry, slightly alcoholic, leafy - bitter. Taste - generic bitterness (like hop oil) - weak malt profile, mostly just bitterness - but I kind of like that - not a wimpy amber that’s for sure. Average body, incredibly astringent, long, long bitter finish. A tad unbalanced (hah - massively unbalanced) - but a real treat.

Jan 8, 2009 Hazy amber orange with a good thick white head. Oaty biscuits, bit like I’d imagine a cup of tea to taste, hops, little dry on the finish.

Jan 2, 2009 Bottle at The Rake, "What company Christmas party?" session, 4th Dec 08. Mid amber and suprisingly still. Soft malt aroma. Fudgy malt and then a spreading hop bitterness to balance it. Good finish that shows off the varied hop flavours. Enjoyable stuff.

Jan 2, 2009 Nice hazy deep amber coloured body with a ruby tint and a perfect-sized tan head. Aroma of malt, raisins, nuts, pit fruit and a decent amount of alcohol. Medium-bodied; Strong effervescent feeling up front with a lot of malt, some nice sweetness and quite a hop finish. Aftertaste shows a lot of malt and a decent amount of nuts - all with caramel really coming out. Overall, a good amber - definitely one of the best I’ve had from this style, but it doesn’t surprise me from this brewery - I do really enjoy their beers. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased at Willow Park Wines & Spirits in Calgary, Alberta, Canada on 01-January-2009, purchased a few days earlier.
