03/03 0.5 l bottle courtesy of Doggythedog, thanks for sharing! It poured lighter amber body with smaller head. Fine malty aroma, not too strong though, a touch of biscuit with some caramel. Lemony hops are notable in the flavor, along with biscuit malty base. Not really full in body with short and watery finish though. At this point it was bitterish, quite dry with some malty sweetness that arrived at the very end. Pleasant, but typically light bitter

Bottle from beershop.hr, shared with heavy Poured a copper-brown body with a small white head that went away fast. Light pleasant malty nose, honeyish, carrying some very light aroma hop. The taste is light but nice, lemony hopiness over slightly subdued maltiness. As I said, quite nice overall, I’d have it again.

Bottled 500ml. -from www.beershop.hr
Nice clear amber coloured, small off-white head, lively carbonation, mild fruity nose. Moderate malty, lemony hops and slight fruity with quite bitter finish. Pleasant bitter, but all in all rather boring one.

Half pint, handpulled at Guildford Arms in Edinburgh. Lacing-head. Naked, clear amber body. Fruitlike aroma and taste – a bit like fruit cake. Underpinning bitterness, but overall quite anonymous [11.11.2008].
