Bottled 500ml (Alko)
Clear golden-amber color, small steady white head and some lace. Like description says, there is "rubbery" peach in the nose. Light-bodied. Gooseberries, sweetish peachy fruityness but same time also kind of harsh overall. Hard mouthfeel. Ok but not as good as expected.

A brown yellow beer, a head is medium and blond. Aroma has strong citrusfruity notes, some black currants and gooseberries, also biscuity maltyness. Taste has biscuits, citrusfruits, nice bite of bitterness. Medium bodied, easy to drink. Slightly harsh bitterness. Nice beer.

Bottle from Damian. Aroma oxidized. Flavour as well, but also sourish. Stale hops impression. Really poorly drinkable. Poor overall as well.

Bottled 500ml. -from Pivoljub Ljubljana. Without any Export on the label. Dark golden coloured, small white head, mild fruity nose. Moderate malty, some caramel, weak bready, mild citrusy hoppy and some floral notes with bitter finish and lasting bitter aftertaste. Not bad but nothing more than that.

Cask at the Draper’s Arms, Peterborough. Golden-amber with a thick white head. Grapefruit and tropical fruits up front with some flowers and a touch of pine following. Plenty of hops here, but still a good balance of sweet malt against the bitterness. Very tasty, very drinkable, very more-ish. Oakham do make this sort of beer very well indeed.
