A very good beer. The appearance was excellent. Clear golden amber color with a minimal head and rather unimpressive lacing. Crisp and light flavored brew that needs a little more body and character, but overall a rather nice and easy beer to drink.

Cool name, cool label. Bad beer. Smelled like a pale ale from the bottle but tasted like a confused science experiment. Kudos to the brewers for trying to be different, but a suggestion: keep trying.

Reminded me of a slightly less quality Fuller's ESB. Nice bitter that would make a good session beer.

Bottle. Cloudy golden red with not a lot of head. Not much aroma...or flavor for that matter.

Pretty pleasant brew. Thin head. Caramel in color, and very good. Hoppy and malty, well balanced. Full bodied beer. I liked it.

Nice carmel/malt aroma and pleasant.Carmel color with thin head. Pleasantly drinkable carmel malty beer. Some lite hops in the background, but overall well made and enjoyable. I would be able to drink several in one sitting if so inclined.

Pours a two-fingered white head that stays but doesn't leave much lace. Sparkling clear amber color. Very good carbonation. Definitely a hoppy overtone, particularly at the finish. The stamp on my bottle is 8.281 and it tasted fresh. I bought the bottle as part of monthly beer shipment.

Cloudy amber in color. Tastes vaguely like a Bass Ale that might have gone a little flat! Bitter. A coffee grounds aftertaste. A bit too bitter and sour for my taste buds. This is obscure, but it reminds me of those weird japanese pickles that you can get at a sushi bar!
