Nice dark orange-yellow with a thin but lasting sticky white head. Lightly fruity, sweet malt aroma, apples and florals. Taste is an almost rye like spicy maltiness with more fruit and a hidden light toffee.

Bottle. Pours a golden orange body with a white head. Nice hop floral aroma with a light earthiness about it. Malt is a very thin body and a light citrus accent. A note of cardboard or wet paper just not very good.

Stale aromas cidery sweet and slightly sour aromas. Pours blonde with a white head that doesn’t last long. Cidery stale flavor, bready malts with a sourdough quality, hops are barely noticable. Not much going on here.

This hazy golden beer poured with a thick off-white head and a floral aroma. There is a sweet bready malt flavor with a more bitter hop finish. This is a good though unremarkable brew.

500ml bottle bought at Luvians in St Andrews. Clear golden body with a white lacing-head. Light aroma of pale malts. Sweet fruit-malty taste receiving a spicy touch towards the ending. Short tail. Lively carbonated [31.10.2008].

Sampled 11/14/08. This blond/golden ale pours a deep orange gold color from a 500ml bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is malty, bready and sweet. A medium bodied golden ale. The malts are bready and grainy, touch of cookie. The hops are earthy and floral. Good carbonation. A touch sweet, but there is just enough hops bitterness to balance. Kind of has that apple juice/tea thing going on here as well. Drinkable beer, but kind of boring. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Bottle, 500 ml. Malt and hops on the nose, and rounded with yeast on the palate. Quite light to the taste, but flavoursome, despite a short-lived/non-existent head.
