I hope I just didn’t waste 5 bucks on this, and I hope it doesn’t fall victim to the curse of the clear bottle. This is powerful stinky, my eyes are burning stupid clear bottle. I think looking through my teary eyes that the body is a copper color with a thin film of white stuff floating on top. Stinky skunk hops, sourish malts, and yes even a slight but of rotten egg. The taste is excellent in comparison to the smell but it is still like I’m sucking on the anal glands of a skunk. Piney hops and the malts are surprisingly smooth and sweet. Taste is relatively clean and there’s no lingering after taste. My burps taste like lemon. Starting to get a metallic/blood flavor as the beer is now room temp. best thing about this beer is the mouth feel it full and smooth. Agggg…….that belt was pure skunk. This was an ok way to throw money away.

Peeeeewww. Smells like skunk and Innis & Gunn! Ick-o.
Poured out a thin white cap with minor retention on top of a clear amber colored brew. Nothing appealing about the aroma at all: buttery, skunk, caramel, sweet fruit, bleah. The taste wasn't much better so I decided to let this sit for 20 mins before I continued. The skunk is mostly lost and is replaced by a decent hop aroma, but that weird ass buttery whatever still lingers heavily. The taste is so-so with floral hops, caramel, nutty, fruity and weak toasted malts. Light medium bodied, seems empty, unimpressive carbonation and a bland but properly length bitter finish. Warm or cold this beer did nothing but annoy me. 4.99$ is a decent price for a 6.2 English brew up here but it was money wasted.

Very Orange apperance with a wee bit of white head. I liked the flavour, reminded me of Innis and Gunn. Kinda sweet with a bit of hops and touch of bitterness on the aftertaste and a bit of carbination. Over all a nice brew.

Bottled. Orange colour, minor head. Strong fruitish aroma with some hoppy hints. Fruitish flavour with some cookie-like flavour coming along. A bit bitterish finish and aftertaste. Oily palate.

Poured a bit flat with minimal head, but the colour at least was nice. Aroma had evidence of malt, and the taste was similar, with some hop as well. A nice beer to drink.

Bottle, 6.2%. Amber coloured with no head to speak of. Hoppy aroma with some background malts. Taste's not bad. Sweetish, malty, nutty and hoppy, possibly some spices in there as well. Medium bodied, moderately carbonated and pretty drinkable. Pleasantly surprised; good ale.
