Can from ABC Beers, Den Haag. Poured a clear amber colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is toffee caramel resin hop. The flavour is medium bitter with a big hop citrus bitter palate. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Can’t quite believe the aroma to be honest. An amazing beer for me. Need to drink this more often.

12 oz can from a recently imported batch of Caldera (& other Oregon) beers. Clear amber color. Unevern off white head. Aroma’s of caramel malts, red fruit and light hoppiness. Hoppiness a bit more pronounced retronasal. Flavor is light bitter with some fruity sweetness. Light bodied. Slightly dry, moderate bitter finish. Decent.

Can from ABC Beers, Den Haag. Poured a hazy medium amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is big resin hop. The flavour is medium to strong bitter with a rich wooded malt hoppy bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A real hop bucket, but that works for me.

Can. Nice deep amber with full off-white head. Leaves big lacing. Caramel at first, with some slight toasted notes and nuts. Then big bitter hops, some grapefruit and flowers, but not really very aromatic more bitterness. Nice fresh light finish with again some flowery notes and slight bubblegum. Medium to full bodied with full carbonation. Very nice stuff.

Bottle purchased 10/2013 and opened 6/2014. Nearly black in color with a large brown head. Nice and creamy leaving light bits of lacing. Strong nose of roast, ash, and dark chocolate. Silky mouthful and more or less a light heavyweight… good balance of flavors with roast, dark chocolate, faint bitters, and minimal licorice. Solid brew.

Can, pours a clear golden with a large rocky white head. Classic sweet light grain and cereal aroma. Light malt flavors, a little honey like sweetness and quite low bitterness, even for the style. What can I say, a good lawnmower beer.
