A rather unusually caramel-tasting bitter, but quite good.

Clear amber body topped by a smallish beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, earthy/floral, some toffee/caramel. Taste is mild up front, before opening up into a very tasty mix of earthy, caramel, toffee, and floral. Light-medium body.

Poured a medium golden color with a small white head. Aromas and tastes of some malts and orange citrus. Smooth body. Drinkable (but nothing that really stands out).

Sparkling clear, amber ale... the very definition of amber. The aroma is of caramel, chocolate and light grapefruit. Malty sweet and fairly bitter flavor. Almost balanced, but the syrupy sweet maltiness wins out overall. Medium-bodied with a fizzy mouthfeel. Short, bittersweet finish.

Bottle courtesy of Jabic. Pours copper with a rocky white head. Smells of wildflowers, citrus, hay, dry malt. Tastes dry and spicy with a peppery finish.
