Draft - Spicy and pine caramel malts. Clear copper gold with a decent white head. Spicy and some pine with a bitter finish. Good for the style.

473ml can. Pours a hazy copper-amber with a medium, frothy, long lasting, ecru head that leaves plenty of lace. Sweet aroma of bready malt, caramel, toffee and butter. Sweet flavour of bready malt, caramel, toffee, buttery biscuit, grapefruit and light pine with a dry, bitter hop finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. More of a hoppy Amber Ale than an IPA, but not bad.

Hazy red/amber small beige head. Nose of big malt and booze. One dimensional palate with hints of diacetyl and alcohol. Bad !!

Dull, reddish-brown, with a thin head. On the nose, this is buttery. Ugh. Similar on the palate...sure there’s some citrusy accent, touch of caramel malt and moderate bitterness but the diacetyl is rather overwhelming. See let me see if I’ve got this right - the first time this brewery sends a bomber to the mainland...and they decide to offload the diacetyl bomb? Cynical decision.
