(bottled 05.10.10) Cloudy, orange-amber colour with a short and off-white foamy head. Slightly yeasty, juicy malty and slightly nutty aroma with slightly vinous notes of dried fruits (apricots). Moderately sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a calm carbonation. Juicy malt character with distinctive notes of apricots, traces of caramel and a bready touch; sweet malty and slightly vinous fruity finish with a whiff of bitter hops in the background. Has some nice fruit character. 26.XII.13

Bottle(bottled 5/10/10; purchased at Kris Wines): Orangey coloured, hazy, mid-sized off-white head with a good lace, mineralic-yeasty nose with traces of alcohol, died peaches and toasted malt; moderate to solid sweet flavour with a slight bitterness, medium to full bodied, relatively soft; lingering woody and fruity sweet-bitter finish. Pretty good, it needs obviously some time to ripe…

Bottle shared at the Craft Beer Co. - Clerkenwell, London Holiday Tasting - one of my contributions. Pours lightly hazy copper-gold with a fine, off-white foam head. Semi-ripe fruit nose, sweet bread. Medium sweet flavor with more bready malts, plum and other ripe fruits. Medium bodied with fine, creamy carbonation. Sweet finish, more breadiness, toasty sugars. Drinkable stuff. Good.

Bottle at pre Xmas tasting thanks to Leighton - 21/12/12. Lightly hazed golden with a thin white head. Nose is light booze, dark fruits, orange marmalade, spice. Taste follows with more emphasis on the dark fruits, nutty tones, almond, spice. Medium bodied, soft carbonation - a little over spritzy, bitter dry finish. Ok - nothing special, alcohol is well disguised.

Clear amber beer, little suddy white head. Sweet fruits and malt nose. Semi dry and semi crisp palate. Lagerish malt but sweeter. Sweet dried fruits with a touch of marmalade. The malt turns a little bit creamy. Finishes with more dried fruits. A tad over dry but a sweet drinkable X-mas beer.
