Bottle: Poured a deep copper color ale with a good size foamy head with good retention and some nice lacing notes. Aroma of English dry hops with a nice medium sweet caramel malt base. Taste is also a well balance mix between some English style hops with some notes of delicious caramel malt. Very well balance overall with loads of character but still easily drinkable. Full body with good carbonation. Really well made and possibly helps that I got a really fresh bottle directly from the brewery.

Topped with a nice thick head, this golden orange brew has a sweet malty aroma with hoppy undertones. the flavor is flowery, with a malt background. the finish has a strong dry hop bite.

650 ml bottle from Bevmo. Clear golden amber with a fizzy white head. Grainy and malty aroma. Caramel malt, cereal grain, and bready taste with hops evident in the finish.

Bottle. A clear amber color with a foamy tan head. A malty aroma with a mild floral and fruit hop element. A rather dry and musty. The flavor has caramel and earthy malts. Smooth and clean but without much character.

Funky milky soapy aroma with notes of sourness. Maybe hints of caramel malts in there. Well, this makes up for the aroma. Very toasty and malt-city. Very rich and yummy. Transparent copper color with a small off-white head. A pleasant surprise!

How do you talk bad about a beer that you have paid for more than a few times? Well this is one of those beers. It’s not great, but it’s REALLY good at being average. So much so that you drink it cause of it’s familarity. The sweet maltiness is just very comforting to me. Like an old girlffriend booty-call.

(bottle - 12 oz) Clear amber color with a thin off-white head. Aroma is floral and hoppy at the beginning with a very mild citrus followup. Grassy and hoppy at the beginning with a slight sweet malt middle. Floral and citrus at the finish with some bitterness that lingers. Not bad.
