Hazy but vibrant amber. Herbal aroma reminiscent of Gammel Dansk or Jagermeister - orange, coriander, pine, mint, basil, centennials or columbus (Ha! if I list two hops I''m bound to be right!), sweet candyish malts...holy crap. Full, round body, slightly sticky, slight peppery alcohol. Full of sweet fruity things -sorbitol candies, orange, peach, vanilla, buckwheat honey. Long, sweet finish showing a trace of alcohol and some beautifully extracted malts (Maris Otter still rocks my world after all these years). One of the best.

Dark amber; toasty earthy aroma w/ sweet peaches, raspberry; palate shows caramel, light peach, earthy hop, slight pine. A little yeast flourish like a true British ale lends authenticity.

Murky dark chestnut brown. Minty, orangey nose w/ light molasses. Quite sweet, minty, herbal, then suddenly does a U-turn into an intense, medicinal, quinine, bark-like bitterness. Distinctive, if nothing else.

Cloudy tan-copper; rousing hop aroma - cedar, grapefruit, orange. Creamy start, wonderfully smooth hoppiness flows over the palate. High woody factor, but no earth, pointing to all US hops and minimal quantities of crystal malts. Biscuits, wood, grapefruit collide. Luscious, and finishing with a lot of bitterness.

Dark copper-amber, hazy. Rich hop aroma - mint, spruce, orange. Almost smells like root beer. Loaded hop palate with fat resiny hops overlaying a still-balanced chewy maltiness - caramelized sugar, pine, toffee, light citrus. Finishes long, dry and mouth-coating.

It''s small beer, all right. Very pale. Faint biscuity aroma, light body. Vaguely hop accented. Seems wheaty, though apparently that''s not the case.
