Bottle from Beer Run on 05/15/2009. Batch 001 dated 01/01/08(or 09) Somewhat hazy amber body with a medium frothy off-white head. Pale english malt aroma with some earthy and floral notes. Bready and biscuity flavor with more english malt background and a bit of floral and earthy hops and a bit of a caramel background. Medium body with moderately low carbonation.

Batch 001 shared with maniac. Hazy dull copper with thin ring of off-white head. Aroma is a bready apple with a light citrus note and sweet belgian yeastiness. Flavor is toasty malt with a slight hop bitteness. Chewy body that leaves an oily coating in the mouth. Considering the price, certainly not worth it.

22 oz bottle poured into shaker. Sunset orange color with light carbonation and a thin off-white head. The aroma is dominated by bread dough, but there are berries there as well. The mouthfeel is quite watery. The flavors consist of raw sugar and berries up front, followed by a caramel flavor that is eventually obliterated by a bitter citrus & pine finish. I have two issues with this beer. 1) the watery mouthfeel detracts from the overall experience. 2) the hops don’t compliment the sweetness, making for a disjointed brew.

It pours a hazy amber beer with a small beige head. Rhubarb in the nose. Some balance between malt and hops. Apple bitterness. Plastic in the finish. Mediocre.

Hazy light copper amber body with a thin light khaki head. The aroma is strong citrus with some floral notes. There is also a nice plant soil note. It is weird, but pleasant to have that plant material smell, like walking through the gardening section of a store. The taste has strong notes of earthy musk and a little bit of orange peel. However, this is fairly dry, with a light finish of black pepper. I would like a little more malt body, rather than this bone dry brew.

Bottle courtesy of larrylsb. Pours a hazy gold color with a healthy white froth. Aroma is very grainy with a hint of caramel sweetness and an isovaleric acid note of old hops. Flavor is cookieish malts with a bit of earthiness and toffee. Decent clean finish. Clearly English and tastes more like an ESB than an amber. Body is thinnish. Insubstantial in just about every category.

courtesy of Laurent Mousson - clear amber colour with a poor head retention; fairly hoppy with notes of caramel and a touch of red fruits; clean palate and quite thin-bodied; dry and bitter caramelish finish with metallic notes

660ml bottle thanks to larrylsb. Light amber color with a lasting white head. Light grainy malt aroma with some nutty and caramel accents. Mostly biscuit and toffee malt flavors with a bit of caramel and light earthy hops in the finish. Medium-light body with medium carbonation. A pretty drinkable but boring amber that is probably a bit worse for wear after traveling all the way from Scotland and sitting on a shelf over here, but if they want to send this one over, then that’s what you get...
