Bottle poured into pint glass. Not a remarkable beer. Pours out a pale amber colour with an off-white head. Sweet malts in the aroma and flavour but a nice hoppy finish.

Amber color with light tan head. Caramel and a little green hoppy aroma. The Caramel continues into the flavor.

Aug 07 Bottle from Bottles, York. Some sweetness from the toasty caramelly malts. Smooth and drinkable with slight piney hops in the finish. Quite refreshing.

Had this beer on 2/18/1999. Color is a hazy orange with a bunch of sediment floating around in it. Carbonation and head are very low. Aroma has a light sour scent to it. Taste is a bit sour and odd. It starts with a medium body and somewhat sweet feel then goes down a bit heavy. Finish is an odd sour taste, a light bitterness and a touch of hop flavor. It would be better if it lost that sour taste and all the sediment that’s floating around in there.

Bottled 355ml. It pours an amber beer with a beige head. The aroma is leafy with notes of caramel and strawberries. HInts of sorbet, hay and tea. The taste is leafy with hints of eucalyptus. Dominating caramel. Peaches. Rather biscuitty, nutty and reasonably bitter. Some tea-like elements. Vanilla. The finish is dry and woody.

Poured from a bottle. Poured a deep amber-red color with a thin white head. Sweet malts and some fruit dominate the aroma. Sweet malt flavor with a very muted hop finish. Nice carbonation, but not much to it.
