Tap. Pours clear amber, small off white head, some lacing. Aroma is light caramel. Flavor is medium sweet, caramel, a bit of paint thinner, some astringence, green apple. Light body, meh.

No nose. Banana Esther’s and malty sweetness. Close to a Scotch ale. Nice mouthfeel. But not mind blowing. Could drink a growler of it though

Bottle to glass. This is not so bad. Heavy malt aroma with slight paper and a little butter. Clear deep-orange with full off-white head. Malty with slight bitterness and a harsh bite at the end. Slightly oxidize taste as well.

Draft. A light amber beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of malt combined with lighter notes of caramel and butter. The flavor is sweet with notes of butter and straw, leading to a dry buttery finish. I wonder if it is a brewing flaw or a dirty draft line that the butter stems from.

On tap. Slightly hazy amber with an off-white head. Very discreet caramel notes in the nose. Medium body, sweetish roasted malt and caramel. Hardly any bitterness. 090709

From tap at the brewpub. Pours almost clear and golden orange to amber with a small white head. Light toffeish aroma. Sweet caramel malty flavoured, vague butterish to the toffeish flavours. Ends roasted caramelish and sweet.

Bomber. Nice aroma of malt and ripe fruit. Amber color with a white head that ringed. A bit thin in body, with very mild carbonation. The flavor is caramel malt with a fruity accompaniment. The finish is relatively dry, and there is a decent amount of bitter. Could be a malty IPA.

Bottle: Dark copper color with a small white head. Nose of fruit with a dry, wheaty kick. Tastes better than the nose with dry wheat, floral bitters, earth tones, and some fruity sweetness. Not too bad. Thanks Buckdich for sharing.

Bottle. Bronxe color with a beige head. Light malt and citrus aroma. Big caramel flavor with backing citrus. Richer bodied. Lingering caramel/slight roast malt. Good malt complexity.
