Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso il luppolo. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di aspetto velato. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è elevata e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono di pronta beva. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, agrumi, arancia amara e limone.

Thin off white head on a pale golden body. Hops, faint malt &fruity aroma. Medium bodied, tingly on the fore with a soft back. Bitter tangy tastes of berry, spices, confectionery & sweet citrus.

Bottle: Golden with an orangey sheen, not completely clear, small & stable off-white foamy layer with a little lace, a blend of English and American hops in the dryish nose, supported by a fruity-malty background; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, not too light bodied; lingering dryish fruity-malty and fruity-bitter finish. A pleasant sip...

Handpull cask at the Parcel Yard, Leicester. Dark gold bordering on light brown, with a small foamy white head and lots of lacing. Floral scent, some tropical fruit drink, fruit tea, the slightest medicinal whiff. Tastes quite good actually: sweet with notes of mango, caramel, iced tea tannins. In good condition so the light body is buoyed up qith some natural carbonation. A bit artificial but pretty good all in all.

Bottle from Booths Supermarket, Media City. Golden-amber with a very thin head. Hoppy, but quite fruity too with orange and orange-peel dominant in this respect.

Bottle. Deep gold with a dense white head. Aroma of bread, bitter oranges, some berries. Medium bodied, medium to high carbonation. Plainish malt, decent fruity bitterness gradually subdues it. Simple but nice balance.

500ml bottle into pint glass. From ALDI, Riverwood. Golden bronze beer with light carbonation and a fluffy white head which dissipates. Nose of grass and biscuit, but fairly subdued. Taste is citric and bitter, finish is lingering slightly earthy bitter lemon. Very English take on an APA. Listening to Wings...'Good friend of mine, follows the stars, Venus and Mars are alright tonight..'
