Amber with a healthy head this beer has a decent malt backbone that is combined finely with malt to produce a simple, but acceptable harmony for a moderately tasty amber ale.

Nice honey hue and a decent citrusy aroma. Fairly simple. A bit of the citrus I expect in the american pale ale style but a bit on the grassy side. Refreshing but could be a bit crisper.

Bottle shared with tupalev, HogTownHarry, blankboy and jerc - tupalev’s bottle. Light amber colour. Aroma is grainy, with faint hops. Flavour is pretty much the same - mild grainy malt, faint hops in the finish. Not awful, just... there.

Bottle. Golden-amber with small head. Malty-sweet, fruity (peaches), somehow light-struck, dry and little salty finish, medium bodied but with watery texture. Thanks Bierkönig.

Bottle (341ml) shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow, tupalev & jerc -- courtesy of tupalev. Pours a clear golden-orange with an average size diminishing white head. Aroma and flavour of caramel malt and light oily herbal hops. Light bitter finish. Average bodied. Mediocre stuff.

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.

Bottled. Pours a medium amber color with a small off-white head. Aroma is malty and a little spicy. Malt and a slight hop bitterness up front. Sort of a plastic flavor going on. Seems a little watered down.
