Boks kjøpt på Coop OBS! Aroma røsted malt, plomme. Utseende mørk rødbrun med offwhite kremet skum som varer. Smak detter er en rund fin øl som ikke stikker seg ut, det er noe karamell i kanten og ettersmaken er mild, litt kjedelig.

Poured into a nonic pint glass, the appearance was a light brown color with a quickly dissipating finger’s worth of white foamy head. Sly lace runs into the beer.
The aroma grabs some earthy, rustic sweet nuts, somewhat roasty with a nice coherent robust coffee bean underneath.
The flavor yields to a blend of earthiness to the sweet. Nice lingering blend of cocoa bean to earthiness running into the aftertaste and a sly quick semi-sweet to roasty finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Smooth malts move finely over my tongue. Low to medium carbonation.
Overall, really nice brown ale that I would love to have again.

Can from Bert’s Pours a hazy deep yellow color with a small bubbly white head that dissipates almost instantly. Aromas of light grainy malt a hint of lemony citrus and a touch of spice. Taste follows the aroma quite well and adds a bit of earthiness. Light easy to drink with enough flavor to keep it somewhat interesting. Not bad.

Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from Cigarette City. Aroma is lightly sweet fruity esters with yeast and vague metallic smell. Appearance is hazy pale yellow with nice sparkle, massive (5-finger width!) sudsy white head with decent retention (actually somewhat annoying), and sticky soapy lacing. Taste is lightly sweet (citrus?) mixed with some tart yeast, notes of fruit (some of it overly fermented) and the metallic taste in aroma. Palate is light bodied with thin texture, initial burst of effervescence but then average carbonation and dry finish. Overall, this may have been old but way too much carbonation and not enough flavor or aroma.

Can, undated, drunk 5/14/16.
Pours a clear, bronze-golden with a foamy white head atop showing average retention.
Pepper, floral/sharper herb notes in the nose are softened by angel food cake-like maltiness and light yeast minerality. No alcohol and while I fought with myself as to whether I was finding any butter, it was only just a hint at most and was probably just the malt character. Hops aren’t terribly fragrant, but they’re fresh and I do like that it’s not pine and citrus.
Soft, lightly malty texture with high carbonation, but not overly fizzy. Honey, white bread and black pepper with dried herbs (thyme, basil, oregano-like character) making for a pretty good balance overall. Clean and with no alcohol. Could be more dry and the malt flavor a little more polished (it’s just a touch mushy-sweet), but it’s still clean and that’s probably the most important part.
Looking at the earlier (10 years old) ratings, it looks like they’ve come a long way and cleaned up their act, which is good.

Can from Bert’s Brilliantly clear tawny brown with a decent sized long lasting beige head. Caramel and earth dominate the nose with a light toffee rounding it out. Light fruity flavor with bit toffee caramel and earthy flavor. Sweet almost syrupy mouthfeel moderate carbonation. Not a bad beer, but certainly reminds me of what everyone sold in the mid 90’s.

Treated as a witbier, this was poured into a mug.
The appearance was a semi-hazy to transparent bronzed golden color. A slim cap of a little white head that dissipated immediately. A moderate light sticky spider-web lacing clung to the glass.
The smell started off with a slight sharp crisp sweet apple running into a shy amount of tropical fruits.
The taste was mainly the same sweet flavor with a really low key amount of spices. Lingering fruity sweet aftertaste running into a sweet fruity finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation runs super low. Sticky fruity notes cling to my tongue.
Overall, well, it was an okay witbier to me and an okay witbier for the style. No date on this bottle, wishing they would have dated this one as I’d only have again fresh.

Bottling date of 09/05/15.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a nice looking hazy dark amber color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a light minute. Semi-formal lacing represents around the glass.
The smell starts off with a rich roasty nutty to caramel to toffee character with subtle sticky pomme-like fruity notes. Light toast as well shows a light balance.
The taste was mainly malty sweet with the rich toasty effects running over the caramel, nuts, toffee and light fruits. A nice light sweet sticky caramel aftertaste runs into a wet sticky finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly light allowing the caramel and toast to really pull the stickiness along my tongue.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good Amber ale that I would have again.
