12 oz bottle. Clear amber ale with a nice lacey white head. Aroma? What aroma? Dont know if it was this particular beer or my "smeller" is failing me but I just dont get much out of this one. Maybe a bit of bread and a very very slight peach aroma. Oveall refreshing and probably could be considered a decent "session" beer. Other than that, nothing special

A beautiful orange beer with a strong, delicious aroma of peach and strawberries. If only the flavor could hold over as well as the aroma! The beer itself is very thin and lacking in flavor until a grassy, overly sour citrus finish, with little aftertaste.

The aromas begin with notes of caramel and English aroma hops (Goldings perhaps?), then things de-volve with the introduction of some cider notes. It’s surprisingly thin bodied, with some flavors of caramel, mild fruit, and a slightly astringent quality. Unbalanced. Thanks to Luiere for the sample.

Slightly hazy amber color with a fat head. Aroma is a bit leafy, some light malt and citrus. Flavor is some malt and citrus, but nothing to write home about. Mouthfeel is pretty good thoug, smooth and viscous, almost buttery.

Wow all that decoration for nothing, out of a bottle a vanilla/caramel nose left me thinking this should be good. Nope left me thinking where’s the beer. Slight metallic finish. I guess there’s just not much to say.

Strange metallic taste, with super strong malts. I kind of expected more out of this beer, but its not really that easy to drink. I probably wont go for this one again.

Pours amber/dark brown with a small white head. Malty to the max. Hardly any hops. Somewhat upsetting, but made well.

Doohh I forgot to look under the cap with this one for the text, ahh well. This poured out clear amber with about an inch of white head that disappeared quick and with no lacing. Floral hops and caramel sweetness will the aroma up front as well as fruity notes. More of a malty smell than hoppy here. Earthy hop flavors with an accompanying caramel sweetness makes up most of the flavor. An odd soda like taste is present throughout also. Body is light to medium and has decent drinkability. Not bad overall but one that would get boring quickly.
