A hazy red beer with a small beige head. The aroma is malty and berry-like. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of berries as well as hints of citrus from the hops in the end, which is dry and hoppy. An OK Rousse.

Hazy copper-amber colour. Slightly toasty, caramelly aroma with English hop...smells like a rousse all right. Toasty start but turns tart. A little dusty in the finsih with hints of caramel. A couple out-of-place elements cause this beer to unravel...

Near black colour. Fairly malty aroma with slight tar and roast. Reasonably full body for style. Hints of tar and sweet malt. Very little roast or hop bitterness in the flavour profile. More chocolatey and dessert-like.

Cloudy yellow colour. Slight barnyard in the aroma along with wheat and a light apple note. Spicy/malty flavour profile with an acidic finish.

Attractive red-garnet colour. Light fruity nuances and backing malt in the two-step aroma. Watery, juice-like palate with light blueberry notes. Not horrible, but more of a kid’s drink. A re-rate had an awful headless appearance and aclot of faults. Gak. Major downgrade from its prior 2.7

Bright golden colour. Slightl phenolic note, with hints of toasty, bready malt. Slightly cidery, tart. A flawed brew. Tigg loved it but I missed the appeal altogether. Call it a lesson in palate sensitivities.
