Slightly cloudy orange beer with medium head. Aroma is slightly complex: fruity hops, light witbier-like spicyness and slightly malty sweetness. Flavour is lager-like but still aromatic and nicely bitter. Quite easy to drink with balanced carbonation. Okells Maclir is refreshing beer with nice bitterness but flavour needs something more to make this more interesting.

500ml Bottle (Õllesummer 2008,Tallinn) - Golden in colour with a white head. Citrus aroma with a hint of peaches in syrup. Hoppy and refreshing taste with a mild but fairly long lasting bitterness featuring grapefruit and a hint of lemon.

[Cask at Back of Beyond, Reading, April 2008] Odd - a traditional best bitter flavour (despite the pale colour) on the foretaste, a huge hit of ginger and chilli on the aftertaste - in the manner of having a teaspoon of the dried spice just after finishing your beer. Very unusual, and rather enjoyable provided you don’t mind losing your sense of taste for some time after! Not sure I’d want an entire pint for fear of indigestion or a digestive cataclysm. Definitely one to split opinions.

Bottled at Ølfestival, Århus, 2008. A pitch black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of roasted malt as well as light notes of soy sauce. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of wood as weill as light notes of oxidation, leading to a bitter finish. The body is thin.

Cask. Hazy amber colour with mediumsized white head. Aroma is nutty and flowery along with some nectary and wooden hints. Flavour is a pleasant mix of fruity and flowery hops, quite much grass and caramel malts balancing it up. Some notes of cookies also.

Cask, as Easton Spice (4.5%), end of cask@Kitty’s. Mildly hazy yellowish golden colour with mediumsized fluffy head. Aroma is some spices, herbs as well as caramel malts and some fruityness. Flavour is really spicy, almost tabascoish burning. at first red tabasco, when warming almost habanero hot. The spices pretty much cover everything except a certain bitterness. I like my spices in food, not necessarily in a beer...

Cask (Pullman Bar, Helsinki) - Golden/amber in colour with a slight haze and a small head. Fresh and hoppy aroma with grapefruit and peach. Slightly watery and thin taste at first but it has a pleasant bitterness thanks to the hops. The grapefruit notes appear again giving it a subtle twang.
