Bottled in Glasgow. Strong malty smell, and the taste is malty sweet as well. Fruit, prunes and raisins. It grows a bit as you sip, with some hints of bitterness and sourness in the finish.

Golden yellow pour with a white head. Cereal aroma. Somewhat watery beer with a sweet finish. Soft carbonation. Boring.

Pours bright orangish golden with a mostly receding off-white head. Aroma is sweet toffee malt, earthy, bread dough, and soft English yeast. Taste has notes of dough, cookie, toffee and toasted malt. Fruity, dusty notes. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Bottle in Vegas. Nice soft whit head. Orange in colour. Thin fruity aroma, apricot? A bit metallic, flavour is apricot and strong grapefruit. Bread picks up and fruit diminishes as you drink. Zesty finish.

Bottle. The aroma is sweet nilla wafers, cardboard and metal. The body is a honey-gold and holds a bubbly white head that is mostly diminishing. Feels a little slick on first sip. Sweet cereal, vanilla notes int he fore. Very low hop bitterness. Bready through the middle. Low carbonation. Finish is sweet and lightly herbal.

Bottle. Aroma almost metallic like you get in some bottled and canned beers. First impression of taste was fish. Some cardboard, too. Too carbonated. Not a pleasant experience.

Bottle. Poured a hazy golden with a decent head. It does have a unique malt flavor. Nice hops as well, but it doesn’t come together. Not bad...
