Pours dark amber/copper with a large, lasting head.Nose shows some nutty malt and chocolate, quite sweet smelling but faint.Similar flavours but after the initial burst of malt it falls flat very quickly.Too much carbonation for my liking.

Bottle. Clear darkish amber with a small light beige head. Aroma of toffee and nuts. Sweetish with nuts, toasty caramel, grassy bitterness that’s just short of balancing but gives a drying finish. OK, but lacks life.

Light amber with a small white head. A little caramel and fruit on the nose with just a touch of grass and even less of citrus. Taste is mild and sweet with a little finishing bitterness. OK but pretty bland. [very quick rerate, old score 2.5] It would have paid to read hear before drinking: this is much improved drunk at Australian lager temperatures (as jonno suggests below) . At about 7C it’s quite fruity and the finish is dryish. More a golden ale than an APA.

From a 330ml bottle on 29/3/2010. Had a fairly subdued nose but is quite tasty. The roasted malt dominates,as you’d expect in an amber, with a good dash and there’s a nice dry assertive finish. Nothing special but quite drinkable.

Bottle. Pale clear no head. Hoppy, slightly fruity aroma. Medium body, fizzy but pleasant. Flavour: mild light malt start moving to pleasant hoppyness that builds into a nice finish. Overall a decent fairly subtle pale ale.

Bottle. Cloudy pale amber with slight white head. Aroma of yoghourt, bananas, maybe a hint of hops. Light body with plenty of carbonation. Fairly light on flavour with fruitiness (lemon, banana) and some very light maltiness. It’s pleasant easy drinking, but not distinctive.

Cloudy golden color. Chalky banana nose. Light clovey, chalky mouth. A bit sour and not so balanced. Clovey finish

Fruity light american style pale ale without the bitterness. A bit on the sweet and malty side too. A stepping stone beer into something else.

A hazy orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of straw, while the flavor is sweet and has its primary notes from straw and hops, and the body is thin. To me, this beer tastes more like a pilsener than a pale ale.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a clear, pilsener golden with a small, white head. Vaguely floral, hoppy nose. Light-bodied with dry, hoppy accents and a lightly hoppy, aromatic finish. Probably would be a nice session beer. Thanks to Highlandlad for this one. 150306
