A 500ml bottle collected from the brewery earlier this year and poured at home. A reasonable effort at a amber ale

500ml bottle [courtesy of Grumbo - cheers Graham!]. Slightly cloudy, amber colour with small, creamy, fading, off-white head. Mellow, caramel malty and slightly fruity, hoppy aroma, hints of yellow stone fruit, apricot, a weak touch of fig. Taste is sweet-ish, caramel malty and mildly bitter, fruity hoppy, notes of yellow stone fruit, peach, apricot, mirabelle, a touch of fig and mandarine; loss of fruitiness leads to a minimally chalky finish.
Watery texture, smooth and super soft palate, fine, soft to flat, still efficacious carbonation.
Nice, sadly slightly ephemeral fruitiness, almost a tad insipid - OK.

Bottle from This Is Beer. Appearance - amber as expected. Nose - toffee mainly. Possibly some cake. Taste - brown bread and toffee all the way. Palate - close to medium bodied and a bit on the sweet side. Overall - too sweet for my palate.

Thuis uit een (voor Nederland wat afwijkend uiterlijk, zoals al die bieren uit Wales) halve liter fles. Lichte amber kleur, redelijke smaak, maar mist wat pit om het zo maar te zeggen. Fles gedeeld met Eus.
