Golden amber, aromas of bready sweetness, something faintly floral. Smooth malty palate, a little perfumy, a little bitter. Very drinkable.

Pours clear deep gold with off white head. The aroma is grains, malts and mild vague fruitiness, sort of estery. The taste is smooth with a thin mouth feel. I get graininess, malts, some mild yeast, a touch of apple and other vague fruity notes.

Enters with gusto but is a lot like chewing gum: it doesn’t last long. Gets boring, almost stale after a while and loses its character.

On draft at the Flying Saucer, Nashville - served in a snifter. Let’s get this out of the way - it smelled like sweat socks, which in a bizarre way, is not a bad thing. The aroma also contain a lot funky, moldy elements that seemed to work. Anyway, copper, very small head. Really easy to drink - flavors are a mix of smoky, earthy malts, ham , and some mellow, floral hops. Nice.

A beer with some contradictions. Creamy looking pale ale color--it could have passed for a lookalike of an English cream bitter. Yet, a lager-like aroma and a distinctive, more Belgian flavor with some spiciness. Good body. Not brilliant, but interesting. (on tap, Belgo, Kingsway, London)

Bottle; Nose of caramel, apple, and spice; light brown with not much head; smells better than it tastes; some caramel and pepperiness.

The aroma is like biscuits, pears, raisins, yeast (basement like), and caramel. The appearance is amber/gold with huge chunks of yeast floating about and a small head. The flavor is only lightly bitter with all the elements from the aroma but not as much sweetness as it should have. The palate is thin. Overall it’s pretty good but the massive amount of floating yeast, the weak aroma, and thin palate hurt it a lot.

(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 20 June) Colour is amber, with a foamy, lasting head. Nose is spicy, slightly fruity and yeasty. Taste is malty and spicy, with hints of yeast and caramel. A bit drier than expected and with a slightly metallic bitterness in the finish. Soft mouthfeel. An ok and reliable beer, but not really exciting. Go for the draught version rather than the bottled if possible.
