Pale copper colour. Quite a floral, hoppy aroma and a hint of wood too. Nice dry, hoppy flavour.

Picked up this half liter bottle at AZ Wine for 75¢. It pours clear amber with tan head. The aroma is vanilla, cinnamon, molasses and a bit of dark roasted coffee ground dust around the edges. The taste offers up semi sweet roasted malts, a thin layer of molasses and vanilla. It stays sort of roasty with malts mixing with molasses into the finish. Nice brew and great price! Go to AZ Wine.

500 mL bottle and the Nook. Pours dark orange with a thin but persistent head. The aroma is apples, some nutty notes, and orange and pine hops. The flavor is a measured and subtle bitterness, with roasted malt sweetness in the front. The palate is medium, fairly carbonated, and a little astringent. A good, flavorful bitter.

Bottle. Hazy gold with a coat of white head. Modest aroma of pears, flowers, a little caramel. Rather watery, but less so than might be expected. A little fruity sweetness, dusty and floral hops, decent bitterness. Not very engaging but refreshing.
