on tap-pours a white head and dark copper color. Aroma is faint medium malt. Tastes is medium malt-sweet, hops bitterness. Comes across as average, not sure why though. OK carbonation.

draught. This is a solid red with a bit of white head. Really sweet aroma on this, scarily caramel-like, some toast. Mouth is loaded with caramel and some bread. There’s no bitterness until the end when some bark and citrus comes out. I don’t have any real gripes. . .

Draught. Pours red-gold with off-white head. The aroma is buttered toast and biscuit with a tame hop note and some ambient sweetness. The flavor is quite robust and very sweet, with syrup, toasted malt, berries, caramel, and a fruity hop finish. Very interesting. I think I like it.

Bright Copper, with a slight tint of orange, and a thick foamy head that goes away quickly. Faint but sweetish aroma of molasses and honey. Full bodied and rich. Surprisingly tangy - notes of orange, honey and molasses and a peppery finish. On draft, Union Jack’s Knoxville.
