On tap at The Beer Temple, Amsterdam 29.02.12 Pours copper in colour, clean as a whistle with a white head. Bitter and without the heavy maltiness I associate with some American beers, though this does suffer a little from being consumed shortly after a peppermint. . Soft in mouth with a light lemony surge, tasty but not too exciting. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4

On tap. Pours an opaque amber with a frothy, dense and creamy off-white head with a nice retention leaving a neat lacework as it dissipates. Mellow, fruity aroma. Fairly light body, a dry fruitiness and a little nuts while the hops come late leaving a dry finish. Pleasantly quaffable. 240212

Draft. A hazy amber beer with a thin lazing off-white head. The aroma has notes of dusty hops, detergent, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of dusty hops, grapefuit peal, and a bit of caramel, leading to a very bitter finish.

On tap at Stags Head Sixpoint night. Pours a murky brownish amber. Tastes far hoppier than I would have thought but there is malty, caramel backbone as well. Pretty good kinda odd though

Draught pint at the brewpub on 9/23/06.
Minimally-hazed amber/gold-leaf colored body has some strong polished bronze tints and a large, well-retained, white/off-white head that laces well as it proceeds down the glass.
Soft fruits in the nose are joined by leafy, lightly juicy hops, that add dryness near the end, being quite crisp and well-pronounced as the aroma progresses. Well-suited to balancing the medium-sweet, buttercream-like maltiness, and in the end, it’s very well-balanced, a strong trait in most Sixpoint beers. A very crisp, grainy, straw-like dryness is noted as well, further distancing the aroma from the sweetness (though it never comes off as under-malted in the least). Unpasteurized, as always, and just so attractively fresh and fragrant.
A slight hint of toffee begins the malt aspect, as I take a sip. Slowly spreading in to a slightly more accessible doughiness and finally finishing with some light pale sugars, it is, at all times, terribly well extracted and very comforting on the palate. The great attenuation level provides just the right amount of texture, and the low/appropriate carbonation keeps it flavorful without any noxious gassiness. Green, leafy, moderately bitter hops show off grass, herbs and light floral aspects, with only mild citrus traits. Some caramel and toffee reprise near the end of the glass, giving it a bit more heft, but it certainly remains another fantastically drinkable session-like beer. Alcohol never apparent, fruity yeast is moderate and provides light nuances without being overbearing.
