Mahogony color with a small light beige head. Sweet malty aroma with some toffee and dark fruit. Just a bit of xmas spice. Flavor is a caramel malt and fruitiness. The body is a little light. Flavor ends quickly with a bit of a dusty note.

Bottled. Really dark. An IPA-like fresh hoparoma. Rather thin to be a stout. Flavour from coffee and/or dark chocolate.

Big, offwhite, coarse-laced head which shrinks quickly. Very faintly hazy golden body with a tiny amount of carbonation going on. Faint, sweet, apple-like aroma. Sourish, apple-like taste with faintly dry aftertaste. Mouthfeel, and indeed taste, is quite watery, as like apple juice that’s been watered down a little too much. Some spice lingering in the aftertaste. Ok, quite refreshing, but nothing special, and a minus for the wateriness.

Bottle purchased at Wine Warehouse, Charlottesville. Pours copper, no head at all. No aroma... really, I smell nothing. Bitter grassy flavor, not much else. Very disappointing.

Bottled. Golden, weakly hazy, color with mediumsized white head which disappears quite fast. Aroma of skunked flowery hops. Flavour is smooth hops, but quite watery. Not bad, but a bit too "one-dimensional" and boring.

500ml bottle from Tesco. Pale copper thin white head. Nice citrus, flowery hop aroma. Really rather nice. Good astringent mouthfeel. Nice citrus flavours, grapefruit and some pear drops especially on the finish. After so many heavy winter beers, this was a real pleasant change.
