Bottled at Mrs Parmas, Melbourne, Victoria. Cloudy amber, rich head. Caramelly nose with minerals and spice. Mid sweet with light to medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Some grapefruit and crystal malt. Mild but growing bitterness.

Pours dark amber with a fading head.Super hoppy aroma, lots of peach, orange blossom, lemon, nectarine and confectionery. Also some soft biscuity malt.Toasty malt as a flavour, along with some of the aforementioned fruit. A bit grassy.Too much carbonation.

From a 330ml bottle on 15/2/2013. Pours an opaque dark golden with a biggish off white head. Has a quite a pleasant fruity nose, with some stone fruit and melon present. Flavour wise, the fruit again dominates, with apricot particularly prominent. There’s also a touch of caramel malt and some yeasty notes. Finishes off with a relatively firm bitterness. The carbonation is lively but not over the top. A very solid pale, though more English than American in style imo.

Bottle, 9C. Clear amber with an inch of white head that fades to a coat. Aroma of grapefruit, wet pine needles, pepper, caramel. Light bodied. Taste is moderately sweet with caramel, some berries, pine and citrus, firm bitterness. Hop aromatics linger. Good stuff. [3.5] A bit more than moderately sweet, but not a problem if cold. Still think this an amber ale, FWIW.
