Bottle from Beers of Europe. Hazy golden colour with white head. Some yeast and sweetness on the nose. Taste nowhere as honeylike as I anticipated, but it was there I found the yeastyness and a subtle spiciness to be just as prevalent, this was fine but not great.

Bottled. Clear, golden pour with an off-white head. Quite weak aroma with caramel, dried fruits, some spicy note and some caramel. Caramel, a little spicyness, malt, sugar, dried fruites and a weak note of cardboard in the flavor. Medium to full body. A pleasant, "by-the-fire" beer, almost session-style. It is a bit weal all the way, but i really like it. (070404)

2010 rating: Hazy dark straw. Some jammy esters on the nose, along with appley notes. Soft fruits like pears, blueberries, and peach, none too assertive. The malts and mild alcohol are both understated. 6-3-6-3-12 = 3.0

2007 rating: Golden colour, quick-falling head. Hmmm...protein chunks. Estery, performey aroma with light peppery alcohol. A bit thin with a spicy note (coriander, alcohol) and some barely developed pale malts. Meh. There are so many similar beers that are executed with greater craftsmanship and passion. 6-2-6-3-12 = 2.9

Bottled. Hazy amber, brief head. Aroma of ripe fruits. Sweet with clean, hard mouthfeel. Very drinkable for it’s size - I can’t believe it’s this strong. Leaning towards being light bodied. Also rather light in flavours - there are some dusty ripe apples but no bitterness.

Bottled. Dark reddish amber, minimal head, some sediment. Fairly sweet with clean mouthfeel and surpsisingly slim body. There’s some fudge and black currant. Lightly grassy finish. Interesting flavours, but a bit hard in the mouth.
