275 ml bottle, unfortunately served far too cold at The Marquess of Anglesey, London. Amber colour, moderate head. Sweet alcoholic (despite ABV only 5%) candylike aroma. Flavour is a bit sweet with hints of nuts and cherries. Not my favourite this one.

Paid $2.59 for a pint bottle. Slightly hazy medium amber with a small head. Decent cherry cordial-type smell. Not very strong. Very plain flavor, without being able to pinpoint anything specific, except for the alcohol aftertaste. This is a drinkable beer... and not a bad one at that. But it's really a bit plain- I was expecting more.

Bottle. A golden amber color with an off white head of big bubbles that disapates quickly. Slight fruity aroma. Flavor has a little fruit and caramel with only a bit of bitterness that doesn't completely hide a metalic finish. Medium finish. Well balanced and easy drinking, but could use just a bit more flavor at 5%.

Has a moderately deep yellow brown hue. Some slight red tinges. Not an overly strong aroma of some nutty malts and slight hops. Smells a bit spicy?? Begins light and poignantly hoppy. There is a battle between the hops and the malt, neither being able to coexist peaceably. Some sips are a dry medium sweet/medium spicy maris malt and then there is a light slightly bitter hops flavor. This is certainly an interesting recipe. There is a bittersweet finish, and the flavor never really jumps out at you. I eagerly agree that this beer is good but has nothing special about it to make me go out of my way to drink it again.
