12 oz bottle. Poured into small goblet glass. Pours with absolutely no head and a slight brown lacing. Opague black color, I mean motor oil with some brown spit in it. Aroma is present, medium stout sweetness, charred coffee. Nicely well attenuated body. None of that cloying sweetness, nice lighter bodied stout. Never would have guessed this was 7% alcohol. Goes down easy with a slight pinch of bitterness that quickly retreats into a slightly oatmeal and chocolate-y aftertaste.

A nice smooth, rather light ale. Had a lot of this during the summer. Definately a good beer. Still has a lot of flavour and some of the good bitter feel. Not really all that wheaty though... tastes more like a standard light ale.

Dark murky orange body with a large long lasting white head. Fruity caramel aroma with some flowery hops in the distance. Bitter start to the flavor with some sweet malt in the middle and hop dryness at the back end. Needs more texture, otherwise, not too bad.

Pours a light, slightly hazy gold into a shaker. Wheat and yeast aromas. White head with excellent staying power. Slightly fizzy balanced flavor upfront which quickly turns to a very long lasting bitter grapefruit finish. Would prefer fewer hops and more wheat.

Pours deep amber into a shaker. Conglomerate white head recedes to hug rim. Caramel malt and light pine hop aromas. Upfront sharp caramel with a lingering bittersweet grapefruit finish. Well balanced and nice for a malty english pale ale. This was my first micro 15 years ago..hopefully doesn’t have the same gastrointestinal tendencies..
