Amber red colour with a small white head. Aroma is malty and slightly spicy. Tastes malty with a light tinge of citrus. A hop bitter end makes this a very good amber.

Slightly hazy amber. God Carbonation. Slightly fizzy, light tan head. Light roasty aroma w/ some notes of spicy hops. Thin feel. Very bland, lightly malty flavour.

Malt and fruit aromas, cloudy amber, and a small toffee head. Cider- like, thin bodied, fair. Thanks joey_capps.

Hazy light amber colour with a thin and mostly diminishing off-white head. Caramel, toffee, orange, lemon, and earthy aroma. Light acidity, moderate toffee, and light yeasty flavours, with a dry almond and possibly woody bitter finish. Light to medium body, creamy yet prickly mouthfeel.

Malty, biscuity aroma, a touch phenolic but nice - almost like a scotch ale aroma. Copper coloured with white head that recedes to cover. Good carbonation. Malty, mildly spicy and yeasty flavour. Medium body with lively mouthfeel. Very drinkable though not exceptional. Bottle.

Very nice chestnut cloudy body topped with an honest beige head. Spicy nose with hints of citrus and herbs. The taste, dominated by spices and malt, also bears some hoppiness that gets more present in the final. I am pleasantly surprised by that one!

Pours a hazy dark amber. Aroma is yeasty with citrusy notes. A dry finish after sweet malt and yeast in the flavour.
