Bottle at the Craft Beer Co., thanks to Ken. Pours hazy gold with a foamy, white head. Aroma is clean and grassy. Medium sweet flavor, bits of grass and pine, light honey and bread. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Clean, light bitter finish, bit of grass, some toasty malts. Very drinkable, well balanced beer.

500mL bottle, sent from Glouglouburp (thanks Dany!), split with Matts_Property, pours hazy orange with a big foamy white head. Aroma of spicy, slightly peppery hops, a woody tone, and light caramel malt backbone. Flavour is quite spicy, with citrus hops, a faint malt backbone, with a spicy, dry finish. Lacking some depth, but this is a fairly well-made IPA.

500mL bottle, sent from Glouglouburp (thanks Dany!), split with Matts_Property, pours dark amber with a medium tan head. Aroma of resinous hops, caramel, brown sugar and dried fruits. Flavour is beautifully balanced, with heaps of brown sugar and caramel malt, with a potent piney and resinous hop character. Certainly one of the best ambers out there.

Bottle. This is a quite special amber ale. It starts out very hoppy - in a grapefruit way. Then the malt shines through with notes of nuts and roasted stuff like chocolate. It ends bitter. Well balanced and totally drinkable.

Bottle. Incredible crisp american pale ale. Notes of orange, apricots - that sort of things. Small spiciness in the aftertaste. Very drinkable.

50 cl bottle. Pours hazy dark orange to brown with a huge, off-white and lasting head. Aroma is mixed grapefruity and light citrusy. Mild pinewood, grapefruity, citrusy qnd vagye peachy hoppy. Great balance on the hops contra the sweetness, bitterness and fruity impression. Smooth and elegant finish.

Great amber. MBC is two for two, so far for me, and I’d love to try more from them. Pours a deep reddish brown with a nice off-white head. The aroma is big on caramel and hops. Citrus and pine notes abound. Mildly grassy. It’s just a big mix of caramel maltiness and pine resin/orange/grapefruit hoppiness. Taste is drier than expected, a welcome change from many strong ambers. Aftertaste is all citrus rind and resin. Full mouthfeel but not outstanding in any particular way. A very easy beer to drink and to like.

Slightly hazy pale golden with a lasting white head. Perfumed floral hop aroma along with citrus (especially lime peel), and a mineral note. Dry, herbal and floral, hop dominated flavour
