Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden color with medium white head that lasts. The aroms is a sweet candy aroma. Nice lacing that diminshes quickly. The taste is slighty malty with hints of caramel. Easy to drink and a smooth finish.

Aroma of not too sweet malt, balanced by a nice hoppiness. Sort of a brassy amber color, with a white head that won’t stay, but almost laces at the edges. A bit thin but it thickens as the carbonation comes out. The flavor is not too intense. There’s a nice lightly sweet, slightly dark, malt at the start, but the bitter is always there, and tends to dominate the finish. It’s really good, drinkable stuff.

An hazy gold orange ale with a thick creamy white head which dissipates. Aroma of carmale malts, c-hops and notes of oxydation. In mouth, a typical California pale ale, with biscuitty malts, nice light floral hopping, and medium bodied. Bottle from Albera, via Presario.

Bottle pours a slightly hazy orangish amber with a small thin quick white head. Mild hop aroma and mostly sweet light malts. Some citrus as well. Flavor is fairly bitter but not much hop flavor. Malts are not quite up to the task of ballancing this brew. Lively carbonation and a short lived but fairly harsh bitter trailer. A bit dissapointing. . Thanks to pinkzambia for sharing this one.

Bottle. Pours copper with not much of a head. Hoppy citrus aroma. Bland hoppy flavor, not a bittersweet hoppiness... just kinda average with some hints of citrus. Not bad, not great.

Cloudy orange - light amber color. Nice aroma, hop and vanilla, a bit fruity. Medium body, crispy, malty, biscuits; ends with a strong bitterness, quite aromatic, dry. Good.

A hazy yellow beer with a huge light orange head. The aroma is sweet slightly hoppy and slightly citrusy. The flavor is rather sweet from a good malt blend combined with notes of straw and hint of caramel.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Hazy, amber golden with a tall, thick and creamy head. Nose full of aroma hops and caramel. Incredibly delicious and malty with a caramelish sweetness. Rather discreet bitterness. 171005
