Pint on tap. Light malt nose. Light golden beer with thin white head. Quite carbonated in the mouth. Fruity and bitter, touch of caramel in the finish. Very refreshing, nice.

330ml bottle into glass. Dark caramel toffee nose. Ruby red beer with billowing cream coloured head. No apparent carbonation. Lightly fizzy on the tongue, medium body. Initial fruity (watermelon?) finish followed by lasting toasted malts. A touch of alcohol right at the end. Not bad.

From a 500ml bottle on 4/1/2015 (shared with Butz). Pours a cloudy medium brown with a small head. Has a slight malty aroma with a hint of fruit. Flavour wise, it quite pedestrian bordering on bland, with a bit of biscuity malt and citrus fruit, finishing off with a very modest bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. A bit rough and dirty, but quite boring at the same time. An uninspiring brew.

Dark brown, aroma is a bit suspect, the palate is mostly sweet, there isn’t a ton of nuance.

Med brown. Mostly caramelly aroma. Sweet and with a touch of sour, I guess not as well -developed as I’d like.
