Pours a three-fingered cream head that quickly fades to a thin layer leaving a good lace. Crystal clear amber color. Light-medium carbonation and light-medium bodied. Slight hoppy nose. Flavor is sweet honey that fades to a light bitter finish. $1.75 for a 12oz bottle from Barb’s Beer Emporium Concord, NH.

Pours a clear copper colour with a medium creamy off-white head that fades to a thin film. No lacing. The nose is muted with lightly toasted bready malts with some overlaying perfume-like hops. The flavour is of fruity hops and plasticine bready malts. Some zesty citric notes poke through as well. The palate is thin, crisp and relatively long. The finish is a little metallic, as beers done in this style tend to be too often.

Bottle... Hazy amber ale with golden highlights and a mid-sized, creamy, white head. Good retention. Fruity, sweaty, beef stock aroma... a bad combination. Light to medium-bodied with moderate carbonation. A touch more bitter than their Original Pub Style... mildly tangy as well. Very lightly bitter finish.
