Orange brown beer. A little malt. Subtle banana and a little sweetness in the dry finish. Okay.

Pours toffee-amber with an off-white small creamy head.Nose shows resinous, earthy English hops and a load of toffee and caramel malt. Some doughy notes in the background. Pretty nice, if somewhat faint.Flavours follow along these lines with toffee and caramel followed by some resinous hops and accompanying light bitterness. Unfortunately it ends with a somewhat cidery metallic finish.Good moderate carbonation and med-light body.

Butterscotch, grass, and honey aroma. Clear amber, thin head. Honey and butterscotch flavor with a frothy abrupt finish. Decent, but lacking.

I was a little kind to this one and I need to re rate. Lots of fruity aromas in nose and similar feel on the palate. Balanced bitters. Rated 6/29/2000

Clear amber, light beige head. Restrained caramel, nectarine and hay aroma. Mild sweet taste with no real firmness in the malt or funk from the wheat. Hops pop up on the palate at the end, but there’s not much bitterness. Quite prickly carbonation doesn’t hide the deadness of the brew.
