500ml bottle. Barely clear, orangey golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Minimally grainy, pale malty aroma, herbal hoppy overtones with gone astray freshness and soapy interlude, cautious, not easy to nuzzle hints of mustard-like yeasty, spiciness. Taste is moderately bitter and herbal hoppy, malty and yeasty spicy, peppery, subtle malt sweetness; soft palate. A pimped Dortmunder.

Bottle from Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours a lightly orange tinged gold with a slight white head. Aroma seems a bit peppery/smoky. Med body. Not sure about pepper, but there’s smoke and it seems a bit spicy. Very flavorful. Not at all bitter. Quite different but tasty. Nothing extreme at all, but it’s different.

Opaque black beer, good tan head,. Palate is fairly light, crisp and semi dry. Mild dark malts, just a bare whisper of roast. Light and bitterish wood. Good rich red wine tang and red berry fruits. Touch of vanilla. Light dry finish. Pretty light and tasty and easy drinking for an IS.

Lightly hazy amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Very light airy palate, light as a feather! Light malt base, mildly sweet. Lovely hops - minty pine, whispers of skunk and lime. Mild hop spice. Finishes airy and light. Lovely balance of hop flavours and so light and drinkable.

Bottle ’Aged on Oak Chips - 11.5%’. Clear deep red -amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is slightly soft and airy, Mild fine carbonation. Slightly sweet malts with a dark toffee streak. Touch of rye spice. Very light marmalade. Light woody bitterness and a little soft vanilla oak. Finishes smooth and semi dry. Woody and hoppy bitterness linger on. Flavours come together very well indeed and it’s very easy drinking. I had no idea this was 11.5% until I polished off the bottle and was wondering why my world view was a little fuzzier!

Clear gold - amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and mildly crisp. Smooth malts, little cream. Whisper of banana ester. Very mellow orange hops. Light finish with a very mild bitter linger. Tastes more like a mellow apa than a lager. But decent.
