Bottled - tasted blind. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with dusty notes of hops as well as an edge of acidity. The flavor is sweet malty, but also with an acidic edge, leading to a dry bitter and tart finish.

(Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of Skyview. Pours a slightly hazy reddish amber with an off-white head. Discreet, tart caramel aroma. Medium body with caramel and fruit and a piquante acidity that hardly is intended. Subdued bitterness. 260708

From bottle #24 at sk8vikings American blind tasting. Pours slight cloudy orange with a lacing white. Spiced and slight cardboardish aroma. Sweet and light citric flavour. Orange fruity and mild spiced. Lingering caramel and light spiced yet with a persisting citric strong flavour into the finish. Sad and infected yet has notes of what it should have been. Re-rate needed.

Hazy deep amber with medium off white head. Sweet fruity aroma with caramel notes. Sweet and sour flavor with caramel, hops and fruity notes. Ends bitter.

Pours a transparent copper orange with a spotty-lacing off-white head. Aroma of lightly sweet toasty caramel malt and some earthy piny hops. Body starts fairly full and light fruity sweet with some earthy bitterness before a more bitter, dry finish. A decent brew, but I don’t think I’m gonna buy more than one bottle at $8.50/22oz.

Bottle… October ‘09 O-Town Throwdown!… Clear, dark copper ale with a small, fizzy, off-white head. The aroma is earthy and lactic with a notation of wood. Full-bodied with medium carbonation. The flavor is a disjointed mish mash of sour, sweet and bitter. Finishes tangy and dry. Dissonant and confusing, but pretty good... I guess. Bottle courtesy of Daknole!

Hazy orange colour with a beige head. Hoppy, piney aroma with caramel sweet notes, but also an off aicidic note. Malty, yeasty, aicidic and buttery flavor.
