Bottled. Amber with a large, tan head. Fruity citric aroma with some sweet fruits. Pretty bitter and slightly vinous.

Bright amber colour. Thin head. The aroma is a strange mix of phenols and earth. Earthy, woody taste with moderate bitterness and a hint of diacetyl. OK, but doesn’t go that far in terms of pleasing me, on account of the diacetyl and phenols.

Bottle. Amber pour with a mild hop and malt aroma. Mild hop flavor and a bitter finish. It was too thin for me but liveable.

Clear deep golden with tiny off white head. Sweet and hoppy aroma with caramel notes. Hoppy flavor with caramel, grapefruit and floral notes. Ends solid bitter.

Aroma of malt, lemon, parfume. Flavour, dry, honeylike, and biterness towards the end.
