500ml brown bottle from their Taster Pack under Amber Solace. Pours a hazy amber colour with a golden hue in the highlights. Unfiltered with very tiny particles and a head that is frothy, light-beige coloured with big fluffy foam lacing. Fruity malt nose over the caramel base. The hops give out a unique aroma in the end that is kind of spicy and minty. The taste is very fruity-malty with not much of a finish. So, a little dry and not much lingers which makes this one a refreshing amber beer. Nice !

Bottle from the Beer Store as Amber Solace. Slightly hazy dark amber under a one finger off white cap that fades slowly. Nose is lots of malts with some lighter fruit notes along with some grass and nuts. Moderately sweet with some dark fruit and light bitterness. Medium slick mouth with average carbonation. 7+/4/7-/3/14-
