(Bottle 50 cl) Bronze coloured with a small, dense head. Sweetish malty with typical notes of nuts and caramel and only a discreet bitterness. Very smooth and inoffensive. 130700

(Bottle 50 cl) Beautiful amber with only a wee head. Lovely fresh, hoppy and floral aroma. Malty, full-bodied with notes of nuts and - again - flowers. Excellent indeed. 020700

Bottle. Maple syrup and cherry aroma. Opaque black-brown color with slight head. Light sweet maple flavor with a strong hops finish. Don’t know why any English beer had a maple flavor - maybe it’s just me. Still not too bad - sweetness light and not cloying.

Lot of taste and low on alcohol. Have problems to classify this as an IPA. Nice looking bottle found in Blå Rock Café, Tromsø, Norway. KI=6

(Can 50 cl) Beautiful, clear amber with a dense, creamy nitrogen head. Weird, slightly sourish aroma. Very soft and creamy mouthfeel. Incredibly flat and somewhat watery. Odd, sourish malty feel, but not unpleasant as such. No bitterness whatsoever. An odd bird indeed. 061105

(Bottle 50 cl) Beautiful clear amber with a small, off-white head. Soft, nutty aroma. Incredibly smooth, soft body with typical fruity notes from the ale yeast. Flavour of nuts and caramel. A very pleasant and quaffable session ale. 291005

500ml bottle from Sainsbury. Pale chestnut colour with thin beige head. Odd malt/hop nose. Slghtly soapy and yeasty . Mouthfeel is a bit thin with sherberty hop on end. Some tangy hop with a touch of ginger. Just not very exciting
