Bottle, thx to thewolf. It pours a clear, golden body with a white head. The nose is a bit on the sweet side, but there’s a nice fruityness in it as well. It’s full-bodied and sweetish in the mouth as well, with a little grainy flavor getting more pronounced towards the end. Malty and fruity as well, initially, and with a quite bitter finish. It’s sure not a big beer, but quite drinkable. (080301)

Bottle, thx to thewolf. This dark brown, clear-bodied beer had a medium sized beige head and a pleasant aroma of caramel, toffee, some chocolate and roasted malt. The flavor has a lot of toffee too, with a little butterscotch, burnt malt and a little coffee-like bitterness. Medium body. A nice one, sure suited as a session beer. (080301)

Bottle, thx to thewolf. Pours a clear, golden body with a white head. Malty and a bit grainy nose with a pleasant hop profile. The flavor is much the same, but more on the fruity side than the aroma, finishing with a pleasant hoppy bitterness. Medium body. A quite pleasant beer, easy to drink, balanced and quenching, but far from exciting. (080301)

Bottle, thx to thewolf. As I didn’t find it to be off, I’ve entered the rating even though it was past BB-date. It had a clear, pale golden body and a minimal off-white head. Fruity-sweet aroma with pale malt, grain and some hops. There’s a little touch of wet cardboard in the flavor, but mostly there’s grain, some fruits and hops, and a bitterness that shows after a while. Medium mouthfeel and a pleasant bitterness in the finish. Not bad at all, and easy to drink. (080301)

50 cL bottle, thanks to thewolf. Pours clear and golden orange with a white head. Light caramel malt and alcohol aroma. Flavour is sweet, almost honey like. Has a little metallic edge. Into a light breadish note. Ends with a light alcohol flavour and light sweet malt.

Deep clear brown beer with a thin off-white head. Light vinous caramel aroma. Caramle and musty tatste, cardboardy. Lighter bodied. A bit tired from its trip from Indiana.
