Beautiful, clean amber color. Some caramel aroma. It has a medium sweet flavor, that strangely reminds me a watered Barley Wine; soft mouthfeel; good bitterness, ending with the correct mix of caramel too. Good.

Cloudy pale blond color with small head. Strong spicy aroma, with accent on cloves, and light fruitiness. Off-dry mouthfeel; good spicy character with delicate fruitiness. Correct bitterness.
Atypical but pleasant.

Muddy blond color. Light wheat character. From the aroma and taste I guess they used ginger, in a correct way, even if it’s not my kind of beer.

Brown-amber color. It has some caramel aroma and a mixed caramel-roasted malt flavor, with a medium dry mouthfeel. Straightforward beer, but quite good.

Draught at the brewpub
Hazy red-amber color. Anonymous beer, with a bitterness from the fruits, no sweetness, no fruity notes (besides some aroma); quite overy bitter at the end, for a fruit beer. Not very good.

Blond color. Is it really an Ale??? Think of an average Lager...

Draught, Alibi Room
Reddish-tinged brown colour. Thin head. Hints of toast, light earth, light wood. The light, soft body has subtle chocolate accents, notes of light caramel and a hint of woodiness. This is a sweeter, milder interpretation.
