Bouteille 330ml, courtoisie de Blankboy. De couleur ambrée-orange et claire. Nez de houblon légèrement terreux et aux notes herbeuses, de grains de malt avec quelques traces fruitées (agrumes) et de caramel. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement plutôt moyen-bas et une texture légèrement huileuse. Goût moyennement amer de houblon terreux et aux notes florales (présente en arrière-goût durant toute la gorgée) accompagné de petites notes fruitées (agrumes) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de grains de malt frais ainsi que des notes de biscuits au miel et de caramel puis en finale l’amertume de houblon légèrement plus herbeux et asséchant reprend le dessus. Post-goût moyen et aux petites notes sèches, moyennement amer de houblon terreux et légèrement herbeux.

Half-decent aroma of something citrusy, I’d wager to say coriander but it smells more like a cleaning-product-slash-perfume, some breadiness in there too. Appearance is allright, a clear amber colour. The taste is a warm barley, some sweetness, a bit of caramel and a dry finish. Not a bad brew at all.

bottle, pours light amber with a thin tan head. Light carmel apple and hop nose. Flavor is nice and mellow with clean malty body that fades into a noticable cascade bite with some crisp mouthfeel. Very good.

bottle, pours deep gold with a thin white head. Aroma is floral hop and light hay. Light malty flavors end with a light bitterness. Easy drinker, but kind of boring.

bottle, pours light amber, thin off white head. Sweet carmel malt aroma, a light skunk note. Toasted malt in a light body form, slightly sweet, kind of nutty, ending nice and bitter with some remaining crystal malt sweetness, ends really mellow, but it’s nice. Such suprising flavor at 3.4 percent. Very drinkable and a great session beer.
