Bottle. Pours a good hearty amber-orange/peach with some light coppers. Good sized white foamy head. Aroma of light hops and plenty of toasted malt and some lightly sweet toffee/caramel. Flavor starts out with a hint of bitter hops, a good dose of light fruit hints (light raspberries and nectarines) and then develops a big sweetness from the malt. It’s that typical sam smiths yeast flavor mixed with toasty toffeeness. A good bitter, but sticks to the palate and gets a bit too malty and boring towards the end. As with most filtered light beers, seems a bit lifeless.

A nice beer to sip on. Has a slight bite to it, but nothing too serious. Good stuff.

550 ml bottle. Orangish yellow with a white head and a slight haze. Aggressive fruity malt aroma. Flavor is malty with a nice hop balance. Distinctive English malt character. Decent session beer.

Bottled. Golden honey coloured body with a thin white vale. The body has a sheen and succulence to it that is very inviting. Soft, smooth honey flavour. Biscuity, bitter finish. Silk smooth palate.

Light golden appearance, thin, tight white head, slight lacing. Fruity, bready aroma. Excellent mouthfeel, just feels right. Interesting flavor, spicy, yet sweet at the same time. Has an appealing fruity, all around "ale" like taste to it - classic and smooth going down.

Pretty dry with lots of hops. Tart. Reminds me a lot of some of the brews that I’ve had from upstate New York. Citric perhaps. Very subtle, pretty well-crafted, but nothing impressive.
