(Bottle 50 cl) Very pretty dark golden with a nice, white head. Dry and quite bitter with a characteristic, nutty ale character. 081001

Bottle from Sainsburys, not impressed with this. Amber colour, thin white head, nose is a bit faint with some resinous hops, boiled sugar flavour and then some spicey hop on the finish. Bit bland, bit sweet.

Bottle - Sweet hops aroma. Reddish brown color with light tan head - a very pretty beer. Mild to moderate hops flavor with only light sweetness. Full body.

Golden/light brown beer with a light head, and a well hopped caramel nose. Very dry, bitter and well hopped flavour with hints of caramel. Overall pleasant and just above average.

Amber color, generous head. Simple malt aroma. Dry, realy bitter, not too much body strength. Strongly hopped, but not too much aromatic; long final. Essentially bitter beer, unbalanced.

A very refreshing beer with a lot of dry hoppiness - a little like an IPA. And a beutiful beer too.

Whisky-colored, medium head. Smooth toffee-aroma. Quite bitter with notes of hazelnut. Maybe a bit too thinnish.
