Lightly hopped flavour yet a slightly sweet nose from this redish beer. Generally a dull flavoured beer, but ok.

Amber color, generous head. Simple malt aroma. Dry, realy bitter, not too much body strength. Strongly hopped, but not too much aromatic; long final. Essentially bitter beer, unbalanced.

Cask conditioned this is just an excellent ale. Enough said. Rerate May 14 2002: Had this one again today from can + bottle (bottle slightly better) in Norway, not nearly as good as cask conditioned, but still a very drinkable ale. Could use a little more aromatic hops. Rerate 2: I take back what I said about can vs. bottle. I found a retailer who stores the cans cold, and they’re a helluva lot better than the frequently skunky (clear!) bottles, which are stored warm at my other retailer’s. Well kept, I just love the nutty freshness of this ale.

Very long lasting smooth head with a lightly hopped and slightly sweet flavour. A very palatable summer bitter.

I tried it on a bottle. It has a nice amber color, and a good head. It has a lightly fruity aroma. The flavor is fresh at first with some hops bitterness but it ends of with a metallic note - which I don't like. I can't recomend this beer.

A very refreshing beer with a lot of dry hoppiness - a little like an IPA. And a beutiful beer too.

Whisky-colored, medium head. Smooth toffee-aroma. Quite bitter with notes of hazelnut. Maybe a bit too thinnish.

With a higher alcohol content this would have been a very good beer. Now it's just too watery. But there's nothing wrong with the bitterness!
