(Bottle 50 cl) Pretty, clear amber with a very discreet head. Weak hoppy aroma. Weak notes of nuts, but otherwise mainly dominated by bittering hops. 301005

Bottle: Poured a clear golden colored beer with an average head with almost no retention. Carbonation is a bit thin and body is average. Aroma is mostly malty with some very subtle hops in the background. Taste is quite like your standard bitter as it begins with some malts and ends with some bitterness. This is a bit bland I find and lack some character. Maybe more hops or a bit more roastiness in the malt would have help.

This ale pours a golden orange with a smooth white head. Scents include citrus and yeast with a small amount of wine notes. First sip had a strong almost grassy/wheat taste with lemon citrus with a hoppy finish (bitter). Long duration of bitterness that lasted quite a long time.

Hazy amber colour. Medium slightly brown and creamy head. Aroma is honeysweet malty and grassy. Mouthfeel is fruity with raisins and honey, a bit alcoholic. Watery finish, softly bitter.

Cloudy amber ale with a foamy head, and a relatively thick hopped aroma. The flavour is bitter with a slightly roasted feel. Overall a reasonable pale ale.

Hazy blond to gold color. Sweetish, with a hay/honey aroma and flavor and some nice hop too.

The aroma is sweet and malty with notes of straws and fruit. The color is amber, but it has no head. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of grains and straws. An OK beer, but nothing special.

Hazy, vibrant amber. Clean pale malts, caramel and apricot in the aroma. The light fruit esters and pale malts continue through the palate. Typically English "heavy" yeast and concrete wood hops...dryish, yeasty finish.
