Oct 11, 2007 Pours a clear dark gold with a frothy beige head that settles to a thin creamy skin at the surface. Fruity and floral with a caramel malt backing and a distinctly phenolic note. Light to medium-bodied with a slick mouthfeel and a lightly dry and bitter finish. Toasted caramel malt up front with a lightly fruity hop backing and a mildly dry and slightly bitter end that carries just a touch of band-aid. This looks and tastes more like an ESB than it does a blonde.

Oct 11, 2007 Bottle: Solid offing in class. Malty flavour an easily drinkable brew that can easily lead the shipyard line in broad appeal.

Oct 5, 2007 Bottle (35 cl) at Delirium Café, Göteborg, Sweden. Fruity, non-complex malt aroma with some toffeish notes and some faint piney hops. Medium bodied, nice balance with a moderate bitterness.

Sep 30, 2007 Smells yeasty, spicy, slight citrus notes. Pours a clear bright yellow/amber color with a tiny white head. Taste is bitter with malts. Not bad.

Sep 29, 2007 Average slightly hoppy but fairly balanced aroma. Average body with medium hops evenly matched to the malt, just a modest bitter and alcohol after taste. Quite dry in the finish. Drinkable but fairly average for a micro. Not bad, just mediocre. Bottle from a "Captains" sampler.

Sep 28, 2007 bottle- flavor is very subdued as this is an attempt at making a "flagship" with appeal to the masses.

Sep 21, 2007 Updated: Nov 6, 2007While perhaps nothing particularly exciting, this is a very good basic ale, tasty, very drinkable, and always satisfying. It has a decent but bubbly, dissipating head on a gold body. The aroma is pleasant malt and hint of hops, but hard to pinpoint specific flavours, which to me is good in a beer like this. The taste has good flavour of malt and hops, with a great balance of sweetness and bitterness with a fairly crisp finish and nice lingering flavour. The palate is smooth before the nice, crisp finish and its a good, satisfying, very drinkable basic ale.

Sep 12, 2007 Updated: Sep 13, 2007Bottle... Poured a hazy orange with a medium sized head. Floral, malt on the nose. Well carbonated with sweet floral flavors up front, malt in the center, other fruity tart flavors, and a nice metallic, hoppy finish. I actually didn’t mind this brew.
