This isn’t bad, but it’s not extremely engaging, either.<P>Beer is a clear medium amber-gold color with a small, white, frothy, mostly and quickly diminishing head.<P>The aroma is malty sweey with light notes of toasted grain, cookie and caramel; hoppy with a light note of herb; yeasty with a light note of dough; trace note of honey, light-to-moderate note of buttery diacetyl.<P>The flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter, lightly acidic with an average-length, lightly acidic, lightly bittersweet finish. Slight husky aftertaste.<P>The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is lively.

Head is initially small, fizzy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is dark yellow, bottle conditioned. Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (toasted grain, bread), lightly to moderately hoppy (flowers, herbs), lightly yeasty (dough), with light notes of diacetyl and soap. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Eh, pretty boring and not very clean smelling.

Poured from the bottle, quite carbonated, a clear golden amber with a thin foamy head. A strong fruit hop aroma (some cirtus acidicness) with a malty sweetness (a little toffee). A surprising taste, buttery that sits in the mouth well and then the hoppy bitterness bites in the swallow, releasing flavours of honey and dried apricots. I could get used to this.

Bottle. Medium head with medium duration. Golden color. Good well rounded beer with taste of hops and malt and a bit of sweetness.

I’m a 7th level vegan, I don’t eat anything that casts a shadow So I really wanted to drink this with a steak, but money is too tight for steak. A pretty little pour that is light copper with a fat lasting pillowy head that embiggens the smallest of my hopes. Toffee, butter, and lemon squishee aroma, an all syrup super squishee at that. When I was seventeen I drank a very good beer, I drank a very good beer that I purchased with a fake i.d. my name was Brian McGee, I stayed up listening to queen, when I was seventeen. This has a taste any kwyjibo can enjoy. It is light with toffee sweetness and a good balance of bitter. A bit metallic, like the taste of a Guatemalan insanity pepper. Creamy mouth feel like an éclair from lard lad donuts. And it’s from Scotland so Willie would approve. Excellent. If you survive, please come again. Ap-5 ar-7 tas-6 pal-4 ov-14

Bottle from Morrisons. A dark gold coloured beer, pours with quite a large white frothy head, some initial sweetness though with a noticeably slightly bitter edge, bit hoppy but offering very little really.

Lemon and honey aroma; light and sweet with a metallic edge, somewhat dry finsh; clean, watery body and rather dull, but mildly pleasent.

This beer offers an aroma that resembles dried apricots. It is an amber colored solution with a thick head. This beer is flat and mildly bitter but it proceeds to distribute a taste of vanilla and honey as it flows down the throat.
