12oz bottle. Murky, unfiltered orange-brown. Creamy, steady head. Mellow aroma. Smooth and malty, a little underwhelming. Pretty sessionable, with a watery mouthfeel. Mild hop balance, not much bitterness. Malt centered, standard fare. Inoffensive, drinkable.

12oz bottle. Pale tanned dull yellow with a soapy, foaming head. Rather nice aroma quite mellow, yeasty, and Bohemian. Creamy, delicate, and well balanced. This is a pretty great Pilsener. Faint peppery hop character. Lots of doughy yeast tones. Making this even more impressive, it was bottle 6 months ago! Holds up outstandingly. Crisp and lemony up front, sweet finish. Nice.

Bottle, this year’s batch - pours a hazy ruby with a soapy lace - sweet nose of port, cherry, toffee, bread pudding, plum, some whiskey-ish notes - low carbonation - very easy drinking for the strength, with extremely well-masked alcohol - starts of somewhat treacly sweet, with plum and toffee being fairly apparent - a bit of date - however, a lovely earthy bitterness develops that balances that beautifully - some earthy, peaty, scotch-like notes and some cherry quality - lingering hop bitterness through the finish - I like it fresh with the hop bitterness to balance, but would be interest to try aged samples - very tasty.

12oz bottle. Hazy orange-tan, with a foamy, patchy head. Toasty, bitter aroma. Medium bodied, quite easy to drink, approaching watery. Solid crisp bitter hoppiness, really evens out the creamy Vienna-malt tones. A touch of fruity ale yeast flavors in there too. OK, sort of a light West Coast Pale with some fruity Oktoberfest/Amber tones going on as well.

Pours a hazy copper with a creamy, sudsy lace - moderately earthy aroma with a surprisingly American, spicy hop profile - a bit of mineral and biscuit in the aroma as well - mouthfeel is surprisingly soft, but they may have been going for a cask ale feel - medium dry, with just a touch of caramel sweetness - much more british in the flavor - some dry mineral, a hint of diacetyl, some biscuity malt character - the flavor of the goldings is apparent, but the bitterness is all American - spicy in the finish - a decent balance between American and British styles - pretty good.

12oz bottle. Murky red-brown color. Thin, oily non-head. Malty, medium-bodied, quite true to style. Sort of a watery, low carbonated, amber-brown ale. Sweet, nutty, light brown sugar. I respect a good, sessionable Scottish Ale. Well done.

Bottle from Supermarket Liquors in Fort Collins, CO. Pours dark amber with a foamy 1 finger beige/tan head. Sort of a date aroma. Near full bodied with carbonation I am at a loss to describe. Flavor is dark brown fruit and dark brown malt. Finishes a bit more sweet than not. Goes down all too well.

Super-fresh six pack - pours a lively clear bright gold, with a soapy lace - aroma of light, honeyed maltiness, moderate, snappy toasted grains, spicy and grassy noble hops - soft but full carbonation - just enough malt heft and sweetness to make for a satisfying mouthfeel - perhaps not as clean through the middle as one might want, but it cleans up nicely for the finish, which is moderately spicy, with lingering floral hops and cracked grains - a surprisingly good pils from a hit or miss brewery.
