Pours hazy gold with a very thin white head. Aroma is hay and dirty sweet fruit. Taste’s like i’m drinking from a pond with lot’s of algae in it. Very unpleasant, maybe the bottle is old.

500 ml. bottle. Pours a thin head, good duration, some lacing over a very slightly cloudy, golden orange body.....nose of bread and yeast, with slight floral aroma.....taste early is of slightly sweet malts, (toffee) then hop flavor with herbal tones and middling bitterness....mouth feel is very light, almost, but not quite, watery. A rather light bitter very similar to other large offerings.

500ml Bottle – 99 Bottles – Federal Way, WA
Aroma: The malt comes through but also the light struck skunk.
Appearance: Dark golden in color, clear with a fluffy head.
Flavor: The malt flavor was nice the hops where light and bitter. The skunk also followed to the flavor.
Palate: Dry light finish, with a decent bitter Mouthfeel.
Overall: A decent brew nothing too special. Just an average bitter.

Pours a three finger off-white head that fades slowly, leaving a good lace. Nearly clear amber color. Light carbonation and medium bodied. Watery, hoppy nose. Flavor does not follow the smell fortunately, a balanced ESB with some sweetness and hints of bitterness at finish. $5.35 for a 500ml bottle from Colonial Spirits Acton, Ma.

500ml bottle from Cornelius Beer & Wine, Edinburgh. This is a kind of beer that scores more on its inviting appearance than its content. Good looking with a clear, copper-golden body under a frothy, light off-white head supported with good retention and nice display of laceworks. Vague aroma of floral hops along with faint hints of grainy malts. Slightly roasted, caramel malts in flavour followed by discreet hop bitterness. Ends up light and dry and a bit empty on the swallow. Rather anonymous even for a session beer (Tromsø, 17.04.2009).
