500ml bottle. Minimally cloudy orangey golden colour with average, frothy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Fruity hoppy aroma has notes of gooseberry, lime, a grainy touch. Taste is dry, minimally grainy and husky, hints of gooseberry, unripe green pear, a touch of lime, green wood. Would have preferred more caramel malt instead of the grainy notes.

50cl bottle. Poured hazy golden with a thin white head. Quite malty, hoppy, light citrusy, herbal aroma. Flavor has citrus, hops, malt, biscuits and butter. As it gets warmer the buttery notes gets stronger. Light bodied, bitter finish. A bit off this one.

1/2 pint cask at Chorlton Beer Fest 2012. Amber/orange body with no lacing, a bit hazy. Smells like wet wool and hint of cheese and lemon. Celery, coriander and bitter finish. (6.Jul.2012)

Hand-pulled cask, shared with Stefan at the Chorlton Beer Fest. Close to clear amber coloured body. Bubbly white surface. Malt-fruity smell. Taste of apricot mixed with caramel malts supported by a smooth spicy touch. Well bodied. Likable, a bit heavy to drink though (Chorlton, 06.07.2012).

Cask at Pigs Ear. Clear gold beer, no real head. Light dry palate. Okay mild marmalade hops. Allright.

Cask at Pig’s Ear Beer Festival, London. Hazy orange/amber. Intense aroma of spicy hop and smoke. Dry with medium-full body, rounded mouthfeel. Fruity and dense, packed with spicy hops. Long sweaty bitterness. Concentrated flavour, but drinkability is lost as it gets a bit sticky.

Cask@Pigs Ear Beer Fest 2011. Goldeny amber colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is quite much a bitter meets a golden ale with some slightly more malty and fruity notes. Flavour is rather similar in a nice balance. Long floral and grassy bitterness in the finish.
