Nice sweet malty nose with nice nibs character in the nose. Lighter body than expected, smooth with good nibs character. Rounded. Alcohol well hidden, but still a bit, and just a bit, one dimensional. Not bad

Bottle. Clear brownish amber with a beige head that's soon less than a coat. Aroma of toast, the advertised nashi, nuts. Alcohol is obvious. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation. Sweet toast, banana bread and nuts with some fruit, some bitterness with lots of cloves at the end. It's a little crude but pretty tasty.

Bottle. Amber with a pale beige head that's soon less than a coat. Aroma is quite English with dried and stewed fruit, bread crust and spices. A little whiff of cardboard. Disappointingly thinner than suggested by the aroma with little richness in the malt. But the fruit doesn't detract from the almost stern malt that comes before decent and quite spicy bitterness. Is it just slightly astringent there or is that suggestion brought on by reading the ingredients? OK, not half as exotic as it sounds.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a yellowish head. The aroma has notes of malt, straw, hops, and citrus fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, spices, citrus fruits, malt, and a bit of caramel, leading to a bitter finish.
