12oz bottle. Poured a a copper-orange color with a foamy white head. Aroma was light citrus, mostly sweet malt notes. Flavor was slightly earthy, light hop notes. Kind of middle of the road. Not bad, but nothing crazy.

From old tasting notes. Deep brassy gold color topped by a huge bubbly white head. Rich aromatic malt nose. Crisp bittersweet toasted malt flavor has a robust full character. Nice bitter hop finish balances this ale nicely.

12oz bottle into a Corsendonk tulip on 4th June 2016 while on holiday in California. Pleasant golden amber body, weak, thinning white head. Unassuming blend with not a lot going on to be honest, lightly hopped and light malts gave subtle or poor aromas and flavours:depending on your leanings.

Bottle in our appartment, Maui from the wine corner, Paia 25/04/14. Clear golden with a good sized off white head. Nose is floral hop, perfume, light citric peel, straw, hint of toasty malts. Taste comprises light caramel, straw, floral tones, lemon rind. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light hop bitterness in the close. Low end APA - just doesn’t deliver anything, there are all manner of beers half the ABV banging out 3 or 4 times the flavour !

Stale hay bale. Sweet grain and slight lemon. Clear, dark straw with a full white head that leaves its marks down the glass. Taste is grass and straw, with moderate low malt. Chewy yeast and slight fruity hops.
