Bottle from my friend Ian. Hazy light copper pour with a thin white head. Nice caramel malt aroma with a touch of earthy hops. Nice light crisp caramel malt body with a nice balance of earthy hop bitterness. Refreshing and tasty.

bottle - I had this one side by side with Otter Creek Pale Ale. This brew pours hazy copper with a one finger fading white head. It has a caramel malt aroma with a little citrus. The flavor has some good, crisp citrus hops along with the sweet caramel malt. The bitterness is fairly low but it’s very well balanced. It’s a nice beer and in my opinion it’s a little underrated here.

355 ml bottle. Mackinac Summer Ale 5%. From Sweden. Amber colour with an white head. Pretty malty and little hop aroma. Flavour is pretty much the same. Quite light and refreshing for an APA. Doesn’t matter, I like it a lot.

355ml bottle as Mackinac Summer Ale, 5% ABV, shared with Finn. Amber coloured body with a beige, bubbly head. Inviting smell of juicy malts. Sweet taste of dry fruits with apricot notes. Refreshing [Tromsø, 22.11.2008].

Biggish deep offwhite head. Hazy deep amber body. Deep caramelly malts aroma with faint resiny notes. Dry-sweet roasty wooden malty taste with resiny notes. Fullish body. Faintly astringent. Dry, faintly acidic, resiny tropical fruit aftertaste. Clearly a bit old. Should rerate. BBD hard to read, but probably 2008-09-27. Still nice, though. (0.355l bottle, Systembolaget, Charlottenberg.)
