The colour was medium-strong orange amber, and it had strong long-lasting bead, and strong head. There was light malt and a bitter aroma. There was quite strong malt and hoppy fruit, high alcohol (8%) and an intense bitter finish. This beer had medium body, and was moderately complex, and nicely balanced.

Note 1 I am not really a beer expert (just an enthusiastic amateur), so please don't take my recommendations as anything more than a rough guide to these beers. I can take no responsibility if you buy a lot, on my recommendation, and then regret it!

Note 2 You may not agree with my evaluation of these beers as a lot of this is quite subjective. I tend to put a lot of emphasis on freshness and intense characteristic flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
