Can from Yamaya. Very cool can. Earthy, fruity hop nose, cherry, grass, caramel. Amber-brone with an enormous head (carried in my backpack...) spicy hop flavor, bitter and peppery, fruity, with chocolate more than caramel, cherry. Quite English in hopping. Nice balance, tasty enough, though not much spunk.

Dark amber color, thick off white head. Apples, orange pekoe nose that seems to be a mix of American and English hops. Mouth is well balanced, lightly carbonated, apples, oranges, but not strong hop character. Finish is mildly aggressive, but then becomes dry and malty. Not bad, but kinda plain - much like other beers from these guys. Re-rate. I appreciate the subtles a bit more five years on. STill not great, but not too bad.
