Hazy gold with a small, creamy off-white head. Sweet, spicy, fruity aroma. The flavor starts tart and bitter with some spicy sweetness as it finishes. Interesting beer.

Bottle share at Craft Beer Co Clerko at the Gunner tasting. Thanks to Bruce. Aroma is sweet caramel, honey and some resin hop. Golden colour with a lasting white head. Funky resin hop. Flavour is strawberry, berry, honey and crisp lemon. Slightly finish.

Bottle shared at CBC Clerkenwell in London - many thanks to Bruce for this one. Pours lightly hazy, bright gold with a creamy white head. Ripe fruits in the nose, marmalade, sticky malt sugars. Medium sweet flavor with tangy orange, liquified fruits, dry orange, tangy berries. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Oddly tangy finish, moderately dry, pretty sweet, with lightly leathery fruits, tannins, citrus. OK.

750ml bottle. This one poured a slightly cloudy color with a white head. Aroma is a touch of brown sugar, with some dried fruits and yeasty characters. Flavor is pretty darn enjoyable. Dried fruits, yeast notes. I liked.

Bottle. Deep, bright clear golden color, massive cream colored head with good retention and solid lacing. Aroma of earthy clay, straw, subtle brandy. Taste is caramel, white wine, vanilla. Tasty enough.

Bottle thanks to ksurkin: Poured a carbonated orange to light copper with a huge two finger off white head. Nice little hops aroma. Taste is strong grass with fruit attributes, very oak wood characteristic too.
