6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Bottled. Golden amber beer with a smoothly caramel and hopped aroma. The flavour is quite grassy, slightly hopped and slightly fruity. Overall a good ale.

Hazy amber, fast fading off white head.Faint dry nose. Tastes like a macro lager.

An amber sligthly hazy beer with a good head, though it disappears quite quick. It has a very nice fruity bitter-sweet aroma, do I detect a little orange? The flavor is a nice bitterness right from the start, no sweetness at all. It is a nice bitterness more like an English IPA than an American - different hop. The bitterness lingers a long time and turns almost woody at last. A very nice beer, that I definately will try again.

Light amber; dried flowers in the aroma; bland, watery, touch of grass. OK, I use that description on swill lagers and this is better than that, but it is not that much better. If I didn''t know any better I''d say they were competing with Keith''s.

Sampled cask conditioned at GBBF.
Golden colour. Grassy, sharp hop aroma. Sweet and indistinct mellow body. Quite unpleasant.
