An orange beer with a small disappearing off-white head. The aroma is lovely hoppy combined with sweet caramel notes. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel and oranges leading to a dry end - but before that the body seems weak in the begining.

(cask) Slightly hazy dark gold. Flimsy white head, reasonably stable. very fruity nose (exotic fruit as passion) and yeasty - smelling like green beer. Well-bitter taste with both noble and bitter hops. Enough malts underneath to support, without sweetening. Well-bodied. Aftertaste turns out malt-sweet. Nice one. But Imperial?

Light amber colour with a thin white head. Served at cellar temperature. A pleasant english hop aroma comes from the beer. In addition to the hops, there is a bit of sweetness. The taste is almost purely of malt and english hops. Once again this is a tiny bit watery, but not as much as the others. Aftertaste is a subtle malt with prominent english hops. This was most closely related to a bitter, but possibly could be considered an EPA, but definately not an IPA! Overall, better than the average bitter, and one of my favourites from the brewpub. I had this on tap at the brewpub in Denver, Colorado on 12-August-2003.
