Straw colour. This has a light green chile nose. Mild green chile on the palate, with some off-notes - quite unpleasant butyric stuff. The chile heat slides in late.

Amber. Citrusy moderately hoppy nose. Bitter, pithy and earthy hop character. Good balancing caramel malts. Now we’re getting somewhere.

Amber colour. Aroma is caramel, light fruit. Moderate bitterness. Nice spiciness. Don’t get any particular "steam" character, but it is a decent-enough amber.

Golden amber colour. Fruity, caramelly, fairly well-balanced amber. Nothing special, but if you like ambers, you’ll probably like this.
