Clear 500ml bottle, best before May 2009, drank late March 2009. Poured into a pint sleeve glass. Tangarine/light amber in colour, slight haze, but not cloudy, with a well formed foaming head which has an off-white hue to it. Sweetish aroma, flowers and toffee, some hops too. Refreshing, crisp and with a citrus tang. Malted barley and malted wheat are used in the brew. Hoppy and malty in equal strenghts, very drinkable. The 5.2% is well hidden but is obviously there in the background. This isn’t a rich creamy pint, but it isn’t watery or thin either, just about right. It claims to be ’The Supreme Champion Bottled Beer in the UK 2006’. Well I don’t think it is that good, but certainly worth trying.

Massive aroma of hop as the bottle is opened and poured. Hop flavour is retained in the glass with more maltiness coming through. Taste is quite dry and bitter with some floral backnotes. An excellent beer, a shame that it is difficult to come by.

Bottle, Beers of Europe. Bit of a turkey really this one. Always wary of beers bragging about awards on the bottle. A copper coloured pour with a vanishing off white head. Very little flavour to speak of, has a vague sweetness that is not enjoyable. Lacking in any character. Didn’t finish. Booo

Bottle (labelled as Carn Brea One and All - purchased on St. Michael’s Mount). Toffee malt and cherry aroma - malt dominates. Reddish amber color with moderate head. Strong toffee malt and cherry/berry flavor. Very fruity but also with strong malt taste as well. Very nice.
