Something of a floral, noble hop aroma. Amber tinged gold color with a respectable white head. Thin to medium bodied. Moderate carbonation. Dusty wheat for start, along with a very slight bit of lemon. Finish is sort of wheat, tartness and enough bitter to work it out. Overall itβs a very light and clean beer.

Golden, lasting white head. Vanilla aroma. Flavor is a mix of light malts, vanilla, maybe hazelnut?

(Bottle, Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 15 June 2007) Dark amber colour with brief beige head. Fruity, hoppy nose with orange, grapefruit, pine needles. Lots of hops, but still balanced. Fruity, hoppy taste with grapefruit, orange peel, pine needles and loads of hops. Rather one dimensional, but great hop character and nicely balanced. Great!

Very light roasted malt aroma, just a little smoke. A red beer. Flavor is dry malt, salty, and lightly hopped. Ordinary.

Bottle courtesy of Plucier: Poured a deep brown color ale with a big nice foamy head with good retention. Aroma of PNW hops is well balance with caramel malt. Taste is a well balance mix between some caramel malt with light toffee and some great hops presence with provide mild bitterness and a great floral aspect to this beer. Great carbonation with a full body which really fit the style. I really like and enjoy the balance in the beers from this brewery.

Aroma of fruit and vanilla? Deep amber color with ruby hilites; frothy white head that tried to lace on the rapid way to oblivion. Starts with vanilla. Very creamy. Then stone fruit. Malt and hop seem quite balanced, but the vanilla spice note tends to dominate.

Pop the lid of this 12 oz bottle and you get an almost fruity slightly regurgitated aroma, rather odd and anxious. Pour it into the glass and it is reddish brown orange and no head. Taste is a little fruity and not a whole lotta bitterness. This brew is pretty likable, at first I thought I was going to get a bitter impact but that never developed. This stuff is relatively smooth and well behaved. Easy to drink and well, for lack of words, nice. Very friendly after a few sips. Finish is non offensive and almost totally enjoyable. A well mannered beer. Yes, comes across very creamy, I like this. Much better than Oskar Blues Money Shot Cream Ale and just a little better than Genesee Cream Ale. End result is happy, would not hesitate to buy again. Lovely and different.
