This brew pours an amber body with a thin head which delivers a moderate amout of lacing. Well balanced with a sweet mouthfeel and a prevalent biscuity flavor.

Just couldn’t enjoy this one. Odd mix of flavors, dark fruits, carmel, malt coffee, the typical list, but just not balanced and all kind of weak.

Bottle, bought @ Kolding Vinhandel.
Pours clear dark golden with lots of small bubbles. Medium, firm, creamy, white head. Aroma is malty, some hay, honey, light spice and grassy hops. Firm, light carbonation. Flavour is sweet, very malty, some haylike grassy hops. Fine, dry hoppy finish. Very refreshing.

Bottle. Clear medium amber color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white to white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, caramel, toffee, light to moderate hoppy, spicy, light herbs. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft. (140408)

Bottle from Trader Joes. Poured a golden brwon color with study, light brown head. Slight scent of yeast and hops. Biscuity, malty flavor with sweat honey notes. Some hops crispness. Gets sweeter as I worked down the glass. Goes down pretty smooth. Real nice.

This was labelled as " Best Organic" everything else was the same. Crackin’ gold colour with a superb white head, lasts right to the bottom of the glass, mind you it didn’t take long for me to finish this! Delicious, soft malty flavours with an understated hop character, well balanced, a very satisfying brew.Another star from Sam Smiths. Bought in that wine shop in North Berwick when I bought the awful Colonsay Lager.

Bottle... Poured hazy orange with a good size white head. Aroma is faint with floral and fruity malt notes, slight fermented alcohol scents too. Mildly carbonated, very smooth palate. Flavors of citrus fruit and maybe coriandor that blend with the yeast and the hop and malt flavors. Peppery, Lemon finish.

Rum raisin nose, some horse sweat notes. Iced tea amber to brown color, some haze, pillowy medium head that lasted. Burnt caramel and raisin water sweetness, bitterness is a little one-dimensional. Good carbonation, medium bodied mouth feel, finish is harsh initially, but then settles adequately. Decent beer, just lacked some depth in character.
