A golden beer with a disappearing head. The aroma is very faint malty. The flavor is malty on a slightly sour background, before a hoppy end takes over. The sourness makes me wonder if brewing cereal has been used in this one. The flavor is plain boring.

Canned Deep amber, stable head. Aroma of plums, grass and crystal malt. Fruity and dryish, clean hard mouthfeel. Light bodied with traces of honey and a fair amount of sharp, salty bitterness. Surprisingly decent, even though it’s lacking in malt character.

A light yellow cider with a small disappearing white head. The aroma is a very sweet apple aroma. The flavor is very sweet - too sweet for me - with loads of apples. A very simple flavor and the sweetness seems artificial.

Bottle Pours a very dark reddish brown a modest medium tan head and not much lacing. Aroma is dominated by a strong fruity smell. Grape jelly to be exact. Behind that is a slight prunes chocolate and coffee. Flavor is earthy, slightly sweet, prunes figs and brown sugar. Interesting no grape (like the aroma) or the burnt smokey flavor that is common on many porters. Mouth feel is the only dissapointment her. Soft and smooth but a bit thin. A very tasty brew. A shame I can’t get it out here. Glad I had this before the use by date expired. Only 5.5 years away. Isn't it nice when you are mostly done with a rating of 4+ and realize that you stil have about 14 oz to go on it. : )Thanks again to Probiere for the trade.

Neutral nose, light roastyness maybe. Copper color, low carbonation, unstable foamy head. Corn and some malt - miles from the maltiness of a Bavarian lager though. Light body.

A light orange beer with a beutiful but collapsing head. The aroma is sour malty - is it brewing cereal? atleast not very inviting. The flavor is malty with notes of straw and sourness - a boring flavor and the body is thin.
