Deep golden colour with a small off white head. Moderate sweet aroma with some grassy notes. For me it was just to much grassy flavour. Unusual wheat ale.

Genialne piwo słodkawo-gożkie. Dodając amerykańskich rodzynek zyskało na smaku i aromacie. Ciekawe i godne polecenia piwo

Amber colour with a tan head. Sweet fruity nose. A nice rich flavour. Fruity with notes of plum and probably raisins. Also some toffee and vanilla. My favourite beer from Cains.

Dark colour with a creamy tan head. Mild roasted aroma. Also a very mild flavour and a bit flat. Roasted malt, chocolate and espresso notes. Mild but yet tasty and easy drinkable. A bit light texture.

440 ml can into imperial pint glass, best before 8/23/2012. Pours crystal clear very dark brown color with a small light tan head with decent retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Slight spotty lacing clings to the glass. Aromas of caramel, molasses, toffee, biscuit, toast, milk chocolate, nuttiness, earth, and light herbal hops. Very nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and decent strength. Taste of caramel, toffee, molasses, toast, chocolate, biscuit, nuttiness, earth, light raisin, and herbal spiciness. Very light herbal bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of chocolate, caramel, toffee, toast, molasses, earth and herbal on the finish for a short bit. Some decent flavor balance with a fair amount of flavor overall. No cloying flavors at all. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied; with a fairly creamy and slightly slick mouthfeel that is good. No alcohol noticed other than a minimal warming after the finish. Very smooth and easy to drink as expected. Overall this is a nice mild. Nice fairly robust flavors; and very smooth to drink. I hope to find more milds in the future, there really aren’t too many available in the states.

Can 440ml. Bardzo delikatne i słabe piwo. Bez piany, mało wyraziste w zapachu i smaku. Nazwa IPA sporo naciągana bo nie czuć prawie chmielu. Daleko mu nawet do Bittera.

Bottled. Pale orangeish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is herbs, some grass and mild bready and earthy notes. Flavour is rather similar in a nice balance.

Brown color and a nice white head that lasts some time. Mild aroma of malt and yeast. Flavor is surprisingly sweet, some raisin, with a very smooth palate and a dry finish. I had low expectations from the scores but this is a good beer.
