The colour was medium cooper amber, with a strong frothy head, and quite strong carbonation. The aroma had medium-strong spice and bitter resin. There was a quite strong sweet malt start, with yeast and spice, and a medium dry bitter finish. This beer was moderately complex, with medium bitter hops, and a balance of malt and citrus flavours.

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.
