The cap literally lept off the bottle, bespeaking a fine level of carbonation, followed by a nose of lightly floral, biscuity notes. This washed down smooth and very mildly sweet, caressing my tastebuds with a bit of floral hops and a pleasantly earthy undertone to take the edge off of the otherwise bland breaded flavor.

Bronze-hued beer with a sweet biscuity malt & flowery hop aroma. Bit fizzy on the palate. A sweet malty taste with a dry biscuity malty finish. Increasing flowery hop as it warms up.

Pleasant enough. All Green Party and everything. But still a quite good quaff. Dusky and fruity. Good clean ale with a mild bitterness. Fruitiness lingers until the next sip.

Bottle pours a thick-hazed golden/amber under a staunch white head. Heavy pale malt aroma with sharp hopping that is musky and dank (I thought "Fuggles"). Additional honey & grasses with some soapy florals and mild pepper. Bitter flavor with some chewy, candied caramel underneath. Tea-like bitterness and earthy notes interject. Creamy & dry with a mineral/bitter/sour linger.

Bottled. Lightly cloudy, still, golden-orange beer with a white head. Weak aroma with only hints of malt and hops. Metallic and fruity flavor with hops. Thin body. Thin, weak and boring beer. (060720)

500 ml bottle from the local COOP. Poured a golden color with some haze, with a big fat white head that left good lacing in the glass. Not a lot of nose on this one. A deep sniff brings up a little barley and hops. Flavor is more powerful, and is that same barley and hops. Outside of being overpriced here in my hometown, it is quite nice to drink. Clean mouthfeel, and just a little bite on the back of the tougue. Overall a decent ale.
