A ¾ pint bottle carried back home from bottle bar (Biers Sans Frontiers), GBBF 13. Bright and clear amber coloured body. Creamy, off-white head that laces well. Smell of bread, herbal hops and dried fruits. Mixed flavours of red orange and caramel malts followed by a resin-like, bitter ending. Satisfying bittersweet tail. Soft and dry on the swallow. Just alright (shared with Finn H at his place in Tromsø 30.10.2013).

12oz can. Tan-orange body. Foamy, steady head. Pretty balanced and mild for a beer with amber malt. Rather English, in a US way. Clean, easy drinking, fruity ringwoodish character. Toasty, middle of the road, OK.

On tap at...well read my last rating. Pours a clear copper color with a medium white head. A sweet caramel nose with flavor hops. The flavor is a clean easygoing pale, some biscuit, floral hops. Decent and to style.
