Brown 500ml bottle, drank and reviewed a week after its best before date in Jan 2011. Poured into an ’Abbot Ale’ glass tankard: pale yellow/golden body with full, deep white foamy head which produced some good lacing. The nose is citrusy hops (three types of hops used, American Willamette, with British Fuggles and Goldings. The flavour was mostly hops, semi-sweet tasting more that a hoppy bitterness, that came later in the mouthfeel. A nice refreshing pint, ideal for summer drinking, but also fine for cold winter nights too.

(bottle) Clear, golden colour with a blond medium-sized foamy head. Fruity hoppy aroma with notes of lemon, orange zests and tangerines. Moderately bitter flavour, light bodied with a mild carbonation. Soft malty base with fruity and bitter-zesty hoppy notes; dry and moderately bitter and fruity hoppy finish with a tinge of malty sweetness. Aromatic and easy-going Ale. 10.XII.10
