650mL bottle, pours a hazy dark golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is fairly restrained, with biscuity malt, some resinous hops, and slight caramel. Flavour is very restrained, with some English hops, biscuity malt and light cereal notes. Pretty dry and very restrained. Nothing very interesting, but at least inoffensive. Meh.

Copper-amber colour, chill haze. The malts are nice, gentle, biscuity, more present in the flavour than in the aroma; the moderate sweetness is welcome; the bitterness is well balance, the hop has some resinous trait; light fruitiness to round things up.
Solid, and actually quite good.

Hazy amber color. Some caramel flavor, bitter, but not much hop quality; a bit earthy.
ok beer, nothing special.
