473ml can. Pours a clear yellow gold with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that leaves sticky curtains of soapy lace. Aroma of grainy pale malt, orange peel and piney hops. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy pale malt, orange, peach and pine resin in a dry, bitter finish. Light body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Too timid.

473ml can. Pours a clear dark brown, almost black with red hue and a medium, creamy, short lived, tan head that laces nicely. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate, brown sugar and coffee. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, dark chocolate and oats in a dry, bitter coffee finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Would love to try this on nitro at the brewery.
