Bottle. Amber color with small off-white head. Aroma, oxidation, ligh hops. Taste, again oxidation, caramel, light citrus hops. Not refreshing, easy drinkable as APA should be. Sad, tired beer, but still somehow drinkable.

Dark amber color with medium off-white head. Aroma of caramel, english hops. Taste is caramely, honey, earthy hops. less caramel would increase drinkability, other wise good beer.

Bottle at a Beermalade tasting. Almost no carbonation, moderate body. More caramel than needed in APA, more than I would like. Hops character took a vacation. Bitterness present, but none of the goodness. Old, oxidized. Maybe a fault of the bottling, maybe of age. Whatever, not enjoyable.

Bottle at a Beermalade tasting. Quite classic bitter. Moderate body, rather low carbonation. Rather bitter than sweet, with med-med-high bitterness, light sweetness, but seemingly contradictory rather malty in character, caramelly, nutty, slightly oxidized with hints of dried fruits, sherry. Easy drinking though, good one, tasty.
