Can from Yamaya picked up awhile ago. Served in a dimpled mug. Pouring a deep-orange color verging on amber with a fizzy beige head that disappeared fairly fast. The aroma is sweet bready caramel with hints of stone fruits, possibly a bit too sweet but fairly nice. The body is pretty thin and the taste does not live up to the nose, the rough carbonation makes the sweetness come off as somewhat artificial and candyish, you get some graininess and some caramel but not much. I thought it might be past date but no it says good till May 2015 and made in September. Judging from other reviews which rated it more highly I am guessing this went downhill pretty fast. I preferred last year’s.

Deep orange color. Low carbonation, malty bready character with little hop presence. Decent mainstream take on the style.

Can. Deep amber. Caramel, earthy amber malt nose. Rich amber malt flavor, quite a bit of caramel, a hint of chocolate. Nice and rich, with good malt character. Close to a Vienna. Decent major lager.
