500ml bottle - Well it’s got a nifty name and cool bottle. It pours clear light amber with a sizeable white head that lingers for the duration of the drink and leaves heavy lacing. It has a mild toasted malt aroma. Toasted caramel malt leads the flavor. The hops is mild and comes through more substantially in the enjoyable finish. The body is light and just a little watery. This beer is a pleasant session ale though it doesn’t stand out much.

Bottle 0,5l bought at Tesco Kensington Feb 08. Mahogany colored. A small tanned creamy head that soon was reduced to a layer. Strong aroma of fruit. Apple dominating. Flavor in the same direction. Some roasted malt in the aftertaste with a developing fruity bitterness. OK and a bit different.

Cask @ Horsens beer festival. Slightly hazy reddish golden body with a big off-white head. Aroma is mostly maltish. Flavor is malty, floral hoppy and bitter but sadly to thin body. This beer is watery and not very balanced, short finish. This tasted better from bottle so it might have been something wrong with this particular cask.

500ml bottle @ Cardinal. Beautiful clear amber body with a medium off-white head. Pleasant aroma of malt and caramel. Flavor is sweet caramel malt and some bitterness. Medium to watery body but well balanced sweet/bitter. Not great but fine.

Small offwhite coarse head. Brown body. Light sugary toffeeish malt aroma with caramel notes, slightly watery. Tartish malty taste with smoky wild berry notes and a touch of earth. Clean mouthfeel. Watery, empty malty aftertaste. Quite nice, but not that much taste. (0.5l bottle at Cardinal, Stavanger.)

Bottle. Pours a clear, amber color, with a small, good-looking off-white head that disappeares too soon. The nose is mostly malty, with bread and some roastiness, maybe a bit coffee-ish, and followed by some fruityness. The fruityness is more pronounced in the flavor, lasting from the first sip to the very end, but there’s also roasted malt, some breadcrusts and a wee coffee flavor. It finishes quite dry, with a hoppy bitterness delivering both citrus and a fruityness, and the roasted malt is present here as well. Medium body. Definately a British-style bitter. I could wish for some more aroma, but it is definately a quaffable beer. (070910)

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of Storm. Clear, amber golden with an off-white head. Lightly fruity and coffeeish nose. Medium body, caramelish accents and some caramel. The finish is dry. Very British indeed. 310807

(Cask at GBBF, London, 9 Aug) Copper colour with brief off-white head. Malty, nutty nose with a touch of citrussy fruit. Malty, slightly nutty taste with notes of citrus (orange, mandarin) and a fairly dry finish with spicy bitterness. Good balance between malt, fruit and hops, but not really exciting.
