Pours amber, like tea. Nice off-white head fades to a thin layer, leaving lots of lacing.Initially quite floral, and VERY sweet. Smells like hopped malt extract, molasses, with a fair whack of resin. Taste is a bit better, initial sweet toffee malt, then some resiny hops, then a big bitter finish. Unfortunately the bitterness is metallic and slightly astringent.A little too watery. And that aforementioned astringency.Dunno what’s going on here, way too sweet and malt dominated for an American pale ale.

Straight forward, single hopped beer. Hardly any bitterness. Not exciting, but well made.

Golden-amber. Bright. Complex aroma with syrah, peach/pear cobbler, rich caramel and bready malts. Fairly lean body with subtle vinous notes. Might be a bit fizzy at the back, but a well-rounded, subtlely complex ale.

Bottle. Clear golden with no head. Pleasant aroma esters / banana with some hops. Medium palate with plenty of carbonation. Flavour has a fruity start (mango / banana) with a hint of spice developing into some hoppy bitterness in the finish. A pleasant, but not exceptional beer.

Bottled. A dark red beer with a thick brown head. The aroma is sweet malty combined with notes of caramel and nuts - and so is the flavor. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Hoppy, full bodied and bitter pilsner. Well balanced and clean. Great summer beer.

[Thanks for bringing it from Australia Anne] Clear amber with medium white head. Sweet fruit aroma with honey notes. Sweet flavor with spicy, yeasty and honey notes. Very refreshing.

Bottle. Golden yellow with thin off-white head. Very little aroma; as it warmed up a somewhat malty aroma was detectable. The palate was thin and watery with light carbonation. The flavour is initially light - mainly malty with some fruit and grass, possibly even a burnt hint. This develops into a more bitter finish. It’s refreshing and drinkable, but not special.

This ruby reddish-amber brew shows notes of cherries, brownies, caramel and milk chocolate. THe body is a bit too thin for my liking, but then I drank it in the middle of several high ABV beers. Light caramel finish. Will revisit on its own to confirm rating.

Dark brown color. Light aroma, some caramel. Round mouthfeel, strong caramel flavor, well balanced by some chocolate malt, there is even a light smokey touch; the bitterness is a bit low. Quite good.
