Clear copper, medium white head. A nice aroma, zest hops, subtle spice a nice combo of American and British hops. Some nice British malts, slightly doughy with some good biscuit notes. Medium bitter finish, with some nice pine finish.

This ale poured a deep amber colour with a creamy, bright white head. Medium lacing. Scents include caramel, malt and molasses. First swig was a little thin with flavours of tea and caramel. A little flat, but not too bad. Drinkable.

Pours a slightly unfiltered golden-amber colour with a big frothy warm cap, good retention and some foamy-soapy lace. Grainy biscuit malt nose with some mild fresh hops that appear with time. Soapy tasting spicy hops at first taste with some metallic notes in the middle. Dry and bitter aftertaste. A decent session ale with the malty aromas, but the hoppy flavours. Some fruitiness replaces the metal in the taste, so becomes nicer overall with time.
