Pours coppery ruby with a small head.Nose is restrained but shows some sweet bready malt and nutty notes.Similar flaovurs, quite sweet with rich dark malt resulting in nut praline notes.Carbonation seems a bit high for this kind of beer.

(bottle) The only thing that falls short of excellent is the appearance - it’s a cloudy coppery brown with a short-lived tan head - not very appealing. Lovely rich fruity aroma - mainly raisins with some banana and a nice spicey touch. Full bodied with a smooth creamy carbonation. Flavour starts with fruitiness, mainly raisins and develops complexity with esters and spice and sweetness with caramel. The finish has a mix of bananas and spice, but little bitterness. Overall a very impressive beer.

Pours hazy dark brown with a large, lasting head.Nose shows molasses, banana, clove and doughy wheat. No sign of the rum.Flavours include more doughy wheat, banana, and sweet molasses. Pretty much exactly as the aroma promises. Quite drinkable.Carbonation could be a little higher.The molasses makes for an interesting spin on the dunkelweizen style, personally I’d like to notice more of the rum.

Bottle, 11C. Amber with a cream head that’s never less than a good coat. Aroma of caramel, some nuts and chocolate, spices. Light-bodied with a slightly creamy and alive mouthfeel. Just sweet with toasted caramel and a little chocolate. Finish is dry, quite bitter and peppery. Rich enough, but the caramel is not overdone and the finish is cracklingly spicy.

Now, here is a beer to get you through summer. There’s some citrus and honey on the nose, and a fair bit of malt in the taste, with a slight hint of bitterness at the end It’s got a lovely passionfruit overtone and it’s very, very clean. If beer was found in nature, this one would be a fast flowing mountain stream. The relatively high carbonation also suits for summer drinking. 330ml is definitely not enough. Can I get another, barkeep?

Pours gold with a large, lasting head.Nose shows big grassy/spicy hops with little else noticeable.Some bready malt shows as a flavour, supported by the grassy hops. Falls flat quickly though.Body feels quite watery, carbonation is too high.

Bottle. Hazy yellow with a full head. Very fruity aroma, melon like. Flavour is bubbly with a feeling that there is a fruit drink you just add water to in the background. Finish is dry and light bitter. Not unpleasant, just a bit unusual.

Bottle. Poured hazy pale straw with decent white head. Pleasant tangy lemony fruity aroma. Light body with fizzy frothy carbonation. Tangy lemony fruity taste with a slight light malt and hint of hop finish. Overall unusual, but it works in a refreshing light sort of way. Previous review was a bottle (20/08/10). Had this on draft 07/11/12 and aroma had more tropical fruit than I mentioned in this review. Still go with the same rating.

Bottle. Clear pale straw colour with decent white head. Vegetably hop aroma. Light body and fizzy. Tangy lemony start, followed by slightly sweet maltiness with a slightly bitter finish that is unpleasantly harsh. Mostly bland, but the flavour that is there is poor. Overall bland, unimpressive, but ultimately drinkable.
