On tap, pours golden. Aroma and flavour of bland citrus hops balanced by English malt. Not too good.

Cask at the Bridge, Kingswinford. Aroma was some floral hops. Taste started floral, straw in the finish and a little butter in the aftertaste.

bottle from kihoskh clear golden, smooth large white head. mild aroma, slighly sweet spicy or flowery. flavor is metallic hoppy, spicy bitter hoppy, dry malty. the metallic tinge to the flavor really drags down the expeprience, otherwise a nice bitter. After a while the metallic note sort of goes away and leaves a pretty decent brew.

Bottle. It pours a small, white head over a clear, golden body. Rather buttery on the nose. Some spiced hints and a touch of hoppyness. Pleasant bitterness in the mouth, but it’s too buttery to be pleasant. Fruityness and a grassy touch too. Fresh birch leaves spring to mind. Medium body. Short finish with buttery malts and some bitterness. As the Bitter, way too buttery, but it downs quite easily. 110219
