Bottle. It pours a nice finger-thick off-white head over a lightly hazy deep golden body. Butterscotch, some caramel and a light fruityness in the aroma. There’s a nice bitterness in the flavor, but unfortunately there’s diacetyl here as well. Caramel and fruits too. Medium to thin on the palate, soft carbonation. Decent finish. A decent beer, sort of, at least the butterscotch isn’t very evident after a few sips, but I still don’t like diacetyl in my beers. 130111

Bottle. Fruity vegetable aroma. Hazy amber colour. Very small white head. The flavour is grainy with a little green apple. Better than it sounds.
