Originally rated September 2004. Poured an amber-orange colour with a fine head. The nose was fruity and hoppy. The taste, as well, was fruity (on the orange side). Could also taste the light caramel malts. Had a mild bitter finish. A pleasant english ale with a cool name, and a good story behind it (written on the label).

Nice brownish red pour in the glass with a thick white head. Nose and taste are complex malts, citrus, light cereals and light spices. Rated 11/17/2000

Süßer Röstmalzgeruch, getreidige Töne nicht ausgeschlossen. Unerwarteter Antrunk, untertönig malzig, im Vordergrund steht ein vollmundig sauer-getreidiger Ton. Mit der Zeit entwickelt sich ein würziges Aroma, ebenfalls milder als erwartet. Dazu kommt eine malzige Note, die das erste Mal halbwegs die erdachte Stärke hat. Milder malzig-saurer Abgang, der zu später Stunde noch röstmalzern wird. Etwas entäuschend bei dem mehr versprechenden Geruch. Test vom 10.5.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,10,8,9,11,9

BB 17 Aug 07. Here goes. They don’t make it anymore. Smells like a winter warmer - malt. Some light fruit hints. Reddish amber color, a bit hazy, with a thin head and some lacing. Starts with floral and fruit. Medium mouthfeel. Finish is not quite dry, and the hop finish is not all that bitter. A nice low malt, floral finish. Actually a great ale. Too bad it’s retired.

bottle - Pours light amber with a large, fluffy head. The aroma is mainly caramel malt. The caramel malt flavor is balanced by mild hops presence. It’s too watery, which of course gets less bothersome as it warms, but it’s still on the thin side. This brew is alright, but not worth what they charge for it around here.

Bottle. Sweet aroma. Had a slight fruity taste, with roasted malts and caramel undertones.

Bottled. Clear, copper-colored beer with an off-white head. Roasted aroma with chocolate, caramel-notes, frutiyness and malt. The flavor is a bit weaker, with roasted malt and caramel. The mouthfeel really ruins this beer, thin and watery, yet it is a quice nice and quaffable beer. (061124)
