Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Sugar aroma with caramel malts and citrus hops. Flavor is also sweet with caramel malts, and citrus and floral hops. Overall not bad but not that great either.

App.: Clear, medium amber, tiny white head. Aroma: light licorice/molasses, toasty-roasty malts, oddly fruity (lychee??). Palate: Medium body and carbonation. Flav.: Similar to nose,; dry with slight bitterness.

12oz bottle. Pours a dark gold with a frothy white head. Slightly bitter earthy citrus hop aroma. Taste is malty with a citrus earth hop balance. A decent EPA and much better on cask, if you can get it.

12 oz bottle consumed at fridge temp. Golden color w/ amber hue. Small white head w/o much lace at all. Light watery mouthfeel. This is a pretty average brew. It neither offends or inspires. Mild hop flavor, maybe some citrus notes in there somewhere. Gets fairly boring as it warms. Mild bitter aftertaste. Might be a good lawnmower beer.

Pours clear gold/copper with nice retaining head. Fruity floral hops and light spice aromas, with similar flavors. The body was light and a bit watery. While a decent,refreshing brew, there was not very much substance to take it to the next level.

Bottle, Beer Ritz, Leeds. This was disappointing. Darkish amber with a small white head. Caramel malt was the overriding characteristic in both the aroma and flavour and not a whole lot else. Some bitterness in the finish. A bit on the average side.

Bottle (341ml). Shared with blankboy, GregClow and tupalev, tupalev’s bottle. Clear light amber, small head. Slightly papery aroma, light dry grainy malt, very weak hops, I guess they’re somewhat herbal. Tastes exactly as it smells - a little papery, weak malt, not much hop bitterness or alcohol or anything, really. Average body, somewhat flat ... mostly just boring; thin.

Bready aroma, with feint hints of english hops. Pours light yellow, blonde. Stale bread flavor, with hints of citrus hops. Flat flavor, alittle dry.
