Keg at Nines in Cambridge. Light golden colour with a fairly thick creamy head. Citrus aroma, slight citrus flavour but really nothing particularly strong coming through. Ok but I expected more

On keg at Ye Olde Starre Inne, York. Appearance - golden amber with a thin head. Nose - citrus and pine. Taste - lemon but more what I imagine washing powder tastes like than fresh lemon. Slightly disconcerting. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - smells good, but not keen on taste.

Golden colour with thin head. Some tropical fruits in the aroma especially grapefruit. Flavour is similar with a light malty taste too. Decent stuff.

500ml bottle from local shop. Golden colour, white foam head leaving alittle lacing and fruity herbal hop aroma. Taste is malt caramel with tangy floral hop, citric, some tea and earthy grassy bitterness. Light bodied, soft to medium carbonation, dry metallic bitter finish. OK.

Keg at the Two Lifeboats, Sheringham. Golden-amber with a light fizz and a thin white head. Mild tropical fruit aroma with some lemon on tasting and a mild bitterness in the finish. OK but tastes rather dumbed-down throughout.

Draft @ John Scott’s Pub (Avenyn), Göteborg. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Has a fruity malty perfumed hoppy aroma. Fruity malty hoppy flavor with weak hints of caramel. Has a fruity malty caramel hoppy finish.

50cl bottle from K-supermarket Tikkurila. Poured deep golden with a thick white head, quickly disappearing. Quite typical Greene King aroma, I get toffee, biscuits, sweetness,ä flavor has caramel sweetness, citrusy hops. Light bitterness. Bit sweet but better than I expected. But why the clear bottle?

Bottle from B&M Bargains. Golden in colour, with a thin white head and plenty of fizz. Aroma of citrus fruit, stale malts and a hint of grassy hop. Flavour had some sweet, flabby, cereal malts, a touch more fruit and culminated in a decent, bitter, finish. More a poorly bottled British bitter than American style IPA.

Aromat: po otwarciu butelki czuć skoszoną trawę, i delikatna żywica, po przelaniu do szkła, słodowość i rozpuszczalnik, w składzie jak piszą topowe amerykańskie chmiele w rzeczywistości nic nie czuć. Barwa: ciemne złoto, klarowne. Piana: biała, średnia, drobno pęcherzykowa, szybko się dziurawi i tak samo opada. Smak: nic się nie dzieje piwo wodniste, o niskim wysyceniu, słodowe łamane przez bardzo słabą króciutkią goryczkę która znika szybko i pozostaje w ustach jedynie kwasowość i żywica. Bardzo słabe piwo nie w stylu.
