Bottle shared at a tasting. Pours a clear copper with a thin fizzy off-white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of grainy malt, stone fruits, honey. The taste is bready malt, grain, doughy malt and a hoppy finish. Medium bodied, mild lingering bitterness.

This one poured a deep amber colour with a smooth, creamy off white head. Scents include a little ripe fruit, old attic and sweet malt. First swig was a little watery with flavours of must and nuts with a little ripe fruit. Finish is a little musty with malty flavours lingering.

This OPA poured a nice, rich, amber colour with a minimal head. Scents include yeast, spice and cream. First swig was nice and rich with flavours of spice, hops and Doritos? A light cheese flavour that works. Finish is lightly bitter with a nice hop flavour.

This ale poured a deep red colour with a minimal head. Scents include light hop, malt and... not too much. First swig was medium bodied with nice malt flavours and a light hop. Finish is malty with very light smoke. Very nice!

12oz bottle from a Tops grocery store in Buffalo, NY. A gloden amber pour with a trace of translucent head; some grassy hops on the nose; sweet, malty body,but rather thin; and with a bready caramel finish. Very pleasant.

12oz bottle from a Tops store in Hamburg, NY. A straw colour with a thin white head; sweet grainy aroma; slightly sour grainy taste; and a crisp finish. Not bad, but I don’t know what they would make of this in Cologne.

12oz bottle from Wegman’s, Buffalo, NY. A golden amber pour with the fainest possible ring of white head; malty aroma; malty taste; with a sourness to finish. Very uninspiring stuff.
