500 mL. (Hope this is in the right place - reads 5.1%). Amber brown with a small, light beige head. Floral/earthy hops, ripe friut and caramel in the aroma, but somehow not as interesting as it sounds. Sweet caramel malt and floral hops in the flavour. Some bitterness in the finish. A little thin and heavily carbonated.

Bottled@SBWF2008. Amber colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is hops, caramel malts and some mild notes of wood. Flavour is hops, grass, caramel and some slight paperyness. The spicyness grows towards the finish and aftertaste.

Clear Bottle 500 ml
Appearance: Amber tea in color with large presentable creamy slightly darker head.
Nose: Rather sweet , hint of honey with slight hop like spiciness, citric touch. Strong creamy character behind.
Flavor/Palate : Medium bodied ale . Soft , slightly creamy I texture. Frontal spicy hopiness with off pepper like feel. Not entirely clean. Late light malt feel was noted. Poor example.

Dead shining bronze. Cooked old hop, tea, caramel, almost orange peel, rusty nail and butterscotch aroma. Not bad, actually. Beyond the nose, Badger-like yeasty doughiness, soggy biscuit, tea, gentle nuttiness, MARZIPAN. Offputting alcohol/almond notes of a beer several percent stronger. Clinging dunked Rich Tea afters. Bitterness of the shampoo variety. Not revolting, but getting there.

Bottle. Poured clear orange with a small creamy off-white head. Sweet faint aroma of caramel malts. The flavor is fruity with a caramel and very light hop backing. Medium body that is sweet upfront and bitter in the back. Dry. Needs lots more hops!

Sweet smell of malt and hops. Amber with no head , doesn’t look very appealing. Flavour of malt coming through has a bitter aftertaste a bit flat. Maybe I had a bad botle?

500ml bottle. Bought this expecting an IPA, for some reason... What I got was a malty somewhat sweet beer with almost no hops. I found the taste to be unpleasant and ended up giving it away. No hops in the aroma, just malt. This beer annoys me. At least it kinda looks like an IPA.
