amber with a good head, complex sweet malt and hop aroma, creamy and tasty, sweet but well balanced, just a touch of bitter aftertaste

Bottle. Pours amber and slightly hazy with a thin white head. Sweet malty aroma, toffee and clover. Flavor is sweet intially, lots of toasted malts with a mild hop bite and dry finish. Mouthfeel is medium body with almost creamy carbonation. Better than expected, a nice, servicable session ale.

A very pale yellow appearance with a very light head. The aroma was like soap and a touch malty. A light hoppy flavor with a slight fruitiness. Not enough of anything for me.

Yellowish looks, clear lager-like, moderate carbonation. Pretty clean aroma, faint mustiness of malts. Fizzy palate. Not too bad on the flavor, honey, malt fruits, a little appley with hints of oak that adds a little character. Not my style but worthy summertime drinker, or beginner’s beer.
