Old rating - A 500ml bottle from Holme Growne garden centre in Jersey. Poured at home, It's amber with a white foamy head. Aromas & tastes of citrus, fruits, pine & flora. Mild hoppy bitter finish. Passable.

4/6/2022. Bottle at the Teterow GP beer share. From Wildgoose Fine Foods, Ipswich. Pours clear golden with amber tint and a frothy white head. Aroma is hoppy, grassy, malt, straw, bread, light herb and pine. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Moderate body, slightly oily, soft carbonation. Nice bitter finish. Decent.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - golden and a bit lively. Still hazy to cloudy after all finally poured into the glass.. Nose - floral, dried fruit and wholemeal bread. Taste - muesli, dried orange, fresh lemon zest and green apple. Palate - light to medium bodied. Creamy in texture with balanced bitterness. Overall - good. It really grew on me, this one.

500ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, June 19. Thanks Jeremy for this garden centre find! Pours misty gold, frothy off-white head. Fresh floral citrus nose. Taste has similarly fresh floral citrus, a little simplistic and light but nice enough.

11th June 2019; Shrewsbury Beer Exchange meeting in Chez Sophie, cheers to me for bringing this 500ml bottle (BBE Mar 2020). Slight haze to the amber body, large white head on top. Mild citrus notes in the aroma and taste with a solid malty base for balance. Better than I expected given the brewery often gives their beer 'funny names' to help sales.

Bottle shared by Beersiveknown @ tasting at his place. Huge thanks Steve! Clear light amber (ish) color, small off-white head. Smell and taste malts, buttery, diacetyl and moldy musty crap. Not good at all.
