(Bottle) Hazy golden beer with a decent frothy head. Aroma is floral hop and caramel. Flavour is tangy, fruit and sharp with an underlying malt flavour and a very dry finish. Quite tasty.

Hazed orange-brown with a thin head. Has some sweet fruit in its nose, a little drier in its taste in this respect with some grain evident.

500ml bottle at home. Pours clear copper, thin white head. Metallic aromas, roasted malt. Taste has a roasted and chocolaty bitterness, and a light toffee sweetness. Quite light bodied, a little thin. Finishes abruptly. Not bad.

500ml bottle at home. Clear amber pour, thin, quickly passing white head. Big bubbles. Aromas are malty, not much else, just malty biscuits. Taste has a little bitterness, but mostly just malty sweetness. Didn’t really like it.

500ml bottle at home. Clear golden pour with very little head. Aromas, such as they are, are buttery, lightly floral, some generic fruitiness. Light sweetness, could do with more bitterness. OK.
