Bottle at home. Aroma is soft hops, mild sweetish pale malt, touch of candied fruits and some slight herbal notes. Flavour is light sweet and a bit harshly bitter. Body is medium. Certainly drinkable but a bit unbalanced and messy. Calling this an English IPA is appropriate, but mentioning American hops suggests a crisp fruitiness that just isn’t to be found in this beer.

Bottle at home. Aroma is herbal, spicy, black pepper, floral, orange, nettles, hint of ginger, mint. Flavour is light to moderate bitter. Body is medium. Quite spiced and herbal, not generally my kind of beer, but I found this decent.

Bottle at home. Aroma is biscuit malt, mild fruity hops, sweetish ripe citrus, lemon leaves, a bit herbal-ish. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and moderate bitter. Body is medium. Not as crisp and fruity as promised, but certainly an enjoyable beer.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Hazy orange colored brew with an crazy dry bitter taste, dishwater lemon like hints. Could be better this brew, very unbalanced.

Bottle. Amber color. Herbal citric hops and a hint of caramel in the aroma. Malty sweetish flavor with caramel, roast, oily hops, citrus. Vinous finish.. Nice.

Bottle @ home. Amber color, full sized off-white head. Aroma is malts, smoke. Taste malts, smoke imo in a good way quite similar to the German smoke beers, although I'm far from an expert when it comes to that. It's pleasantly sweetish and lightly bitter in one and the smoke is not overwhelming but really adds something to the beer. Easy drinkable, but with a solid body and suitable fairly soft carbonation. I like it, well done!

Bottle @ home. Bottle says red lager but this is a rauchbier. Loads of smokeyness, ham, earthy. Could use a bit more sweetness. Not bad though.
