Sweet malt hop aroma. Cloudy brown colour with good head and lacing. Bitter malt flavour with sweetness. Smooth palate.

Medium bodied, woody, slight smoky even nutmeg and hazelnuts. Bitter hopping at edges. Light, clean well rounded ale. Long lasting finish.

Bottle. Pours a darkish copper body with a small white bubbly head. The aroma consists of toasted caramel and light tangerine and oranges. Clean breadiness with fruit tartness. Reasonably attenuated with some cereal substance. Average.
Tasted at Smokeless Joe in Toronto on January 19, 2007.

Bottle. Deep amber-orange with a small white head that sticks around to the end of the glass. I made a point of leaving the sediment in the bottle. Great aroma right from the get-go - earthy, almost funky malts, some caramel, a bit of alcohol, and pungent hops. Soft, creamy mouthfeel. Lovely flavour of sweet and woody malt, a hint of honey and peach in the middle, and a well-hopped finish with notes of citrus and wood. Really nice!

an English bitter that reminds me of the fullness of Belgian trappists, not as heavy, but a good compromise

Bottle. Small head with short duration. Color is amber. Aroma is mainly hops. Taste is roast malt and caramel. Bitter finish.
