Jul 26, 2008 Deep amber color with a modest white head. Nice lacing. Nose of malt and berries. Rich malty taste with traces of berries and caramel. Mouthfeel is at the same time slightly creamy and dry. Sweet up-front taste segues into a simple dry and bitter hop finish.

Jul 20, 2008 Bottle. Pours a light brown with a thick white head. Aroma of sweet malt and flowery hops. Flavor is odd: lots of caramel, also roasted malt, wood, fruit (melon?). Quite sweet, but just an odd combination of flavors. Very different from other ambers that I’ve had. Just ok for me.

Jul 19, 2008 Bottle (in NZ), poured a very clear amber with a thick pillowy off white head. Caramal malt on the nose, with some sweet bubblegum notes. Full of hop bitterness on the palate, some toffee malt gets through before the very burnished and drying finish, which has some hints of stone fruits. An interesting ale that doesn’t try to hide anything, got better as it warmed. Hopheads would like this.

Jul 14, 2008 A beautiful amber brown beer that was only let down by the lack of retention with the cream head that produced. The nose of malts, caramel and toffee with a slight hint of burnt berries. The taste was initially of malts which is followed by notes of toffee, roasted caramel and blackcurrants. Excellent beer, highly recommended for any fan of Scottish beers.

Jul 13, 2008 Bottle. Pour is an orangish amber with a rather large and fluffy head (off-white). Aromas are floral and fruity hops with a bit of a bready malt presence. Flavor is an interesting mix of the above with just a touch of pine/resin that makes itself known in the finish. At times it seems a bit watery, but at other times it comes off as full enough for me. I think this is due to the somewhat thin mouthfeel and the underwhelming malt presence, but all in all, it’s pretty good. No where near good enough to justify the price here in the states, though. (I paid $7 for a bomber, but that was on sale... down from $11 or something like that).

Jul 13, 2008 Bottle from Ledgers. Light amber color with a decent off-white head, which does a bit of spectacular lacing. Aromas of bread and fruits. Tart citrus as the glass approaches the lips. Medium body with creamy carbonation. Flavors are amazing. Biscuit, stone and berry fruits, and lots of floral hop. Almost burns my tongue. Not a DIPA, rather a really brilliant* ESB. Amber a.. my a.. bloody brilliant beer states the label

Jul 10, 2008 (bottle) light amber/dark gold with generous white head and nice lace. Floral/herbal aroma. Bready malt, hints of fruit, and a nice floral/citrus hops finish. A really solid amber ale.
