500ml Bottle: Pours orange/amber in colour, very thick and foamy off-white head with great lacing and retention. The aroma is mild, sweet, and grassy, pale hops. The taste is initially strange only because it’s so light and watery, albeit not in a bad way. It’s very refreshing, with a good touch of bitter hops. A bit bready and dry, but goes down smooth and easy. I actually quite like this one, I can imagine it would be incredible as a summer refresher. Too bad we got it in the winter.

Sweet, fruity aroma with some hops. Lots of malt in the flavor with medium hops bitterness. Well rounded without any edges.

Hazy amber color with a tons of foamy head, delicious malty hop aroma. This was all looking to be great until I took a sip, a fair bit of tinny metallic but the flavour that is there is still pretty good. Also a tinny metallic aftertaste.

This ale pours a deep reddish orange colour with a nice white rocky head. To the nose there are scents of apple cider, vinegar and ripe fruit. First taste was clean and smooth. flavours of apples, malt and a little smoke. Finish is a little hoppy with the end, ending with bitter taste to the tongue. Very good.

Bottle, 500ml. A clear dark amber colour with a small head. Good aromas of malt and plum. Taste is roasted malts, caramel, plum, peach and a little hoppiness. Moderate carbonation. A sweet, slightly acidic, lightly bitter finish. This is quite tasty.
