Bottle. (Branded Drinks) It pours a next-to clear rather dark golden body with a white head. As expected, the aroma is quite bready, with toffee and a pleasant fruityness. Somehow I think I can sense the thin body through my nose. Anyway, it is thin in the mouth, low on carbonation, with a bready, toffeeish flavor, as well as a gentle, fruity touch from the hops. Not much bitterness, neither initially nor in the finish, but the hops are sure present. A true session beer meaning it’s easy to drink and low on alcohol, but it’s rather boring and there’s thirteen on the dozen of these beers. (070521)

Bottle. Pours a clear, golden body with a small white head. Malty on the nose, with a pleasant fruity touch. Some metallic notes pulling in the wrong direction. Rather boring. Malty flavor as well, but with the same fruity and slightly metallic touch found in the aroma. Caramel and bread as well. Medium body, and a fruity finish with bread, toffee amd a metallic note in the background. There isn’t anything wrong with this one, except it’s boring. It is quite weak on aroma and flavor, unoffensive and easy to drink. (080426)
