Dive into an intricate ecosystem of crisp, citrus hops and swirls of caramel malt that's more than meets the eye.

Tap at Cece’s Detroit. Clear amber with short lasting off white head. Caramel, some peach and lime, grassy hops, light leaves, nice malty touch besides the caramel there’s light toast and biscuits. Medium sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with a bit slick feel.

bottle into a shaker pint best by 09/11/2015 A: Darkish dull orange body with an inch of dark beige tight foam. Good retention and thick lace. S: Rich medium colored bread nose. Kind of sweet but crisp smell. Not hoppy to me today. T: English hop flavor hits first with a crisp crackery bitter backbone. A slight sweetness is OK. M: Creamy, wheaty and heavy feel with foam still thick on the lips. O: Good well made ale but seems more like an amber than a pale to me. Certainly English style. Pretty good overall though.

Bottle from Schnucks. Aroma is mild malt and herbal hops and fairly indistinct. Appearance is beautiful clear orange brown with 1 finger-width head with good retention, minimal lacing but nice sparkle. Taste is more minimally sweet than minimal bitter, but balanced. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with average carbonation and mildly bitter over sweet finish. Overall, a nice beer that you can have more than one of.

355 ml bottle, from Fakta, Denmark. BB date 30.05.2014. ABV is 5%. Amber colour, slightly hazy with some floaties. Moderate off-white head. Aroma of caramelized stale orange marmalade, basement and dust, a whiff of solvent. Soft mouthfeel, moderate carbonation. The flavour is mild with a slight fruitiness, the finish is drier and "dusty" with very moderate hops. Has apparently not had any benefit from cellaring, might rerate if I find a fresh bottle.

This one is one of my favourite session beers. I can enjoy it both out of the bottle and on tap.
