An amber beer with a huge orange head. The aroma is sweet hoppy with light caramelic notes. The flavor is sweet caramelic combined with quite a lot of alcohol - surprising for such a low ABV beer, the flavor is also slighlty dusty. Too simple, which makes it somewhat boring.

(Bottle 65 cl) Clear, amber golden with tiny, floating impurities and a small, creamy, off-white head. Aroma of overripe fruit and caramel. Medium-bodied with notes of caramel and overripe fruit. Dry, clean finish with only a discreet bitterness. Nice and quaffable. 190408

Blind tasting at Papsoes place, another great session, thanks Henrik! Beer #6: Pours slight cloudy with a lacing white head. Wet cardboard and light spiced aroma. Flavour is light fruity with a mild oxidised note. Light bitterness and mild fruit note into the finish. A bit dull in the far finish. Light cornish touch.

Bottled. Clear dark amber, rich head. Big toffee aroma. Sweet, soft and rounded with oak and caramel dominating. More focused on malt flavours than hops, which is scarce among American microbrewers. Very pleasant!

Brownish-red body with a medium tan head. Aroma is invitingly floral and grapefruit hoppy, oaky, and sweet. Medium sweet flavor, toasty malty. The hops are fairly flavorful on the tongue, but the bitterness only appears in the aftertaste. Nice beer, but the flavor doesn’t deliver on the promise of the aroma.
