50cL bottle, courtesy of argo0. Thanks, Aaron! Pours a bright, clear orange-amber color; mostly headless, with a touch of oiliness and some slight bubbles at the perimeter. Fruity, sugary aroma; a touch sticky and medicinal and flabby. Medium mouthfeel: lightly carbonated; sticky malts and red fruits and sugar; not exceptionally complex, pretty sticky, and some cardboard / toasty malt notes. Medium finish, showing bitterness and stale malts.

Amber, fizzy carbonation, medium frothy head. Clay nose but weak. Very thin, light bitterness. Decent.

Not a great looking beer, amber, the beige head immediately dissapates. Lightly fruity crystal malt nose.Sweet start, light hop mid, lasting but mild hop end. Good malt backbone

0.5 l bottle. Amber color with small head. Honey, biscuity malt, fruity esters, fruity and resiny hops, marmelade, orange and nuts in the aroma. Sweetish, perfumed, honeyish, biscuity flavor with notes of fruity hops. Bitterness is most notable in the finish. Easy and harmless.

Bright and clear amber brown body with a mainly lasting light tan head. Light caramel in the taste along with a good dose of raisins, easy drinking, light to medium body. Aroma alternates between dried fruit and caramel notes.

Sampled from a 16.9 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy orange color with a large orange-white head. The aroma was tangy, fruity and nutty. The flavor was tart, tangy and had a fairly strong fruity hop presence and undertones of nut. The finish was long, tangy and fruity. Solid.

Toasty grain and citrusy hop aroma, with touches of sweetness, wood and pine. Medium orange-copper color, with a very fine, creamy head and delicate, attractive lacing. Fruity start, with a malty, sweet background, some honey and caramel, and the finish seeing an influx of flowery, citric, piney hop flavors and bitterness. Medium bodied, with a creamy, light mouthfeel and relatively low carbonation on the palate. Well balanced and very drinkable.

Poured amber in colour with a long lasting head. Subdued malt aroma. Flavour starts mildly sweet with a long bitter finish. Some caramel notes, but overall a little bland. Still a very refreshing session bitter though.
