Bottle. poured a lovely gold colour, with a mediuim head. Lovely citrus flavours, with a nice clean finish. A very good beer.

Dark orange colored, medium sized yellow head. Strongly grassy aroma with some perfume and bitter lemon. Thin to medium bodied. Slightly watery palate. Flavor has some unclean papery touch, also hayish hops ansd mild bitter touch in soft carbonated beer. Lemon in aftertaste with some cardboard.

Bottled. Refreshing light floral aroma but also a littel soapy. Golden color, white head, good lace. Sweet, very malty, light floral, soft bitterness, quite full. Nice session beer.

Pours a golden amber color with no head. Next to no head. Aroma is mild hops and grass. Taste is weak on the bitter side with some citrus. Light-medium body. Not very impressive.

Bottled. Golden colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is grass, hay and some malts. Flavour is bitter hayish and very grassy. Not very pleasant, and very dry.

Maybe I’ve been having too many Imperial IPA’s lately, but this IPA struck me as more of a pale ale or even a bitter than anything else. It has a golden ale color, and a moderate head with a soapy appearance. The aroma is very lightly hoppy and a little herby. The body is thin, and the taste reminds me of a mild bitter with some subtle pepper notes. Not much malt character to this one at all. A refreshment beer much more so than a sipping beer, and it’s only a so-so one at that.

On its day its bloody nice. But can be a little unpredictable. delicate light citrus and eben green Strawberry. delicate malty base. Very nice. My favorite session ale.

Fresh, citrus fruit aroma. Decent white head with a clear crisp golden colour. Rich flavour with citrus hints. Very good beer
