Bottle. Amber / brown colour with loose off-white head which didn’t stay for long. The aroma is pleasant - hops and malty caramel. The palate was fine: medium body with average carbonation. The flavour started with a malty caramel foretaste transforming to a very hoppy bitterness and leaving a lingering hint of caramel. It’s a nice beer, but it didn’t quite work for me, somehow the taste lacked something in the middle and the hoppy bitterness was a bit too unsubtle.

Pour is a red with a small white head. Aroma is decent with some caramel malts and a nice brown sugar to sweeten things up. Flavor is not great. Some caramel malts and a touch of hops with a little barnyard. Finish is very watery and bland. To thin to be a good example of the style.
