poured a clear amber/golden with a large offwhite head, that went away after a minute or so. freshly poured it looked great. bitter hoppy aroma, some sunburned beer too, faint ripe oranges. flavor is hoppy, sawdust, faint honey, a little citrus, some bitterness, drinkable but a bit dull too. gets better as it warms up , sunburned beer flavor also in there, but faint. bottle was totally clear, so i guess few months on a supermarket shelf could kill it.

Bottle. Pale amber with next to no head. Aroma of caramel and a touch of grassy hops. Sweet flavour with some marmalade and an abrupt finish. Forgettable.

Bottle. Golden with a slight white head. This was very sweet, with a perfumed sherbet like aroma. The flavour was syrupy with some floral hopping and a short dry finish. Not for me.
