odd swet/sour aroma. There are some hops int here, but they are mixed with some off candied orange, and cherry. and some sweet caramel malts. Flavor is sweet, and slightly hoppy, some light citrus notes, with an odd wet hay finish. typical trafalgal offering, barely drinkable.

Originally rated December 2009. Comes in a bomber with a best before date, clipped on the front label that reads, April 2010. Pours a hazy amber colour with a very small head and little lacing. Had a big aroma of butter at first pour, but now getting the hop, the fruits (like apricot and peach) and a bit of caramel. A nice medium mix of the hop and some grain malt. Medium-bodied with a little dry mouthfeel. Good hop taste in the aftertaste and a better product for Trafalgar.

Bouteille 650ml, courtoisie de Hogtownharry. De couleur ambrée et voilée, presque opaque. Nez fruité (agrumes, traces de mangues), de houblon floral, herbeux (herbes mouillées) et aux petites notes citriques, de grains de malt, léger de caramel avec des traces de biscuits et de levures sauvages. Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture aux petites notes crémeuses. Moyen goût fruité (agrumes) accompagné de notes de houblon citrique (pamplemousse) et quelques traces résineuses lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de grains de malt avec un léger goût de caramel et des traces de biscuits puis en finale l’on retrouve une moyenne-légère amertume de houblon plus herbeux et floral. Post-goût moyen et aux notes asséchantes, moyennement amer de houblon floral et herbeux avec des notes citriques ainsi qu’un très léger goût fruité (zest d’agrumes).

Bottle: Poured a clear amber color ale with large light brown foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of sour with lemon is not the most pleasant with some acid hops. Taste is a weird mix between some unrefined cereal malt with some acid lightly citrus hops and an out-of-place lingering sourness. Body is about average with good carbonation. Not as bad as some of the other offering from this brewery bit still not that great.

A dark golden amber ale with a thin white head. A weird aroma of pureed chick peas (typical Trafalgar), and light hops. In mouth, a biscuitty malt with British hops, notes of chlorine, rather watery. Bottle tasted Nov. 27, with GRM and friends.
