Bottle at home. Clear, amber-gold with a fading, white head. Sugary nose with doughy malts and some sharp, leafy hops. Pretty sweet flavor, grainy, some hints of alcohol, mild, basic bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Crisp, bready finish, faintly sticky leaf and straw bitters. Decent.

Bottled 500ml. -Pale golden coloured, medium sized airy white head, lemony cactus nose. Slight biscuity malty, lemony and a bit grainy with discreet touch of Cascade hops. Watery palate but pleasant and easy drinkable beer.

Light blond colour with light foamy head. Massive aroma of fresh, citrusy hops. Clean, refreshing beer with a nice floral hop flavour and a slightly dry, bitter finish.

bottle, Waitrose Abergavenny. Golden colour, mid-sized head and fruity nose. Medium-bodied, pleasantly malty beer with a touch of citrus fruit and good aromatic hops, especially in the lingering finish.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Golden with a decent, but short-lived, white head. Sweet caramel (boiled sweet) aroma, with some floral hops playing second fiddle. Similar sweet malts in the flavour, with some citrus hops and a long dry finish. Good.

500ml bottle from Asda, Cardiff. A deep straw coloured body with a loose white head; quite heavy carbonation; intense aroma of hops; strong hop flavours as well; and a clean dry finish with a trace of honey.

Bottle, picked up at Somerfield, Leominster. Decent crisp and hoppy beer, not too sweet and reasonable bittereness, quite pleasant.
