Hazy gold,small white head. Decent citrus hop nose.The hop flavor is just a little too cat pissy for my liking.

(Bottle 65 cl) A beautiful, clear, reddish beer with a creamy, off-white head. Vinous, raisiny nose. Full-bodied, notes of caramel and LOTS of raisins in the flavour. And then some rather unusual - for its style - ashy edge. Typical - for a Barleywine - somewhat muddy hop profile. Still pleasant. 220406

A hazy red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has strong notes of alcohol and berries, while the flavor is very sweet with strong notes of caramel and malt. Not that complex, but still nice.

Bottled. Cloudy reddish amber. Appley nose with some of citric hops. Plenty of warming caramel malt, still the mouthfeel is somewhat hard. Lingering bitter finish. Solid but unspectacular.

Bright golden colour. Light malt-accented aroma with shades of hop. Pretty bland stuff. Flavour shows a bit of pale malt, but this doesn’t make much of an impression. When will brewers grasp that just because an ale is golden doesn’t mean it has to suck?

Bright amber colour. Earthy, fruity, fuggley aroma. Moderate bitterness. Light and bright, with earthy English malts. Really understated for a WA IPA...I still feel that this style works best when it is really hop forward and brash.

Murky brown with a caramel head. Malty aroma with figs, plums and canned peaches. Sweet, plummy, burnt raisin flavours. Richly malty, but only slightly chewy. A little tart and vinous in the back - don’t bother aging this one as it may be turning in early.
