Bottled@AIH53 (from AbM). Amber colour, mediumsized off-white head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is caramel, mild toffee, some floral, wooden and herbal notes along with mild nutty notes. Flavour is quite similar, but also has some slight yeasty notes to it. Also the brew water feels like quite hard water.

330ml bottle. Cloudy amber colour with average, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Citrusy hoppy aroma, notes of lemon, orange, grapefruit, mandarine, blood orange. Taste is crisp bitter and citrusy hoppy, slightly grassy, notes of lemon and blood orange, very cautious nuttily malty basis; slightly mineral finish. Fresh and refreshing, unpretentious; more (Red) IPA than Amber Ale.

Taste comprises orange pith, candied fruit peel, red grapefruit, spice, light bread notes, toasty ring. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with light hop bitterness. Decent lightly hopped amber, not really a bitter for this Bois.
