Bottled (from K Citymarket Kivihaka). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits, some floral hops as well as some mild mild grassy and malty notes. Flavour is quite grassy and spicy with some smooth maltyness to back the bitterness up. As it warms up a bit the bitterness in it grows.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Clear gold with a slight white head. Biscuit malt aroma with a touch of citrus fruit. Flavour was similar with a touch of boiled sweets pasteurisation and decent, bitter finish. Pretty good.

500ml bottle from Waitrose, Towcester. Amber with a rapidly fading loose white head; clean lemony hop aroma; light citrus flavours with over-boiled malts; and a pleasant hoppy finish.

Bottled at Horsens Beerfestival. Pale golden with a medium white head. Fine aroma of citrus and flowers. Flavor is mild malty with refreshing citric hops. A bit thin body, but quite a thirst-quencher.

Pours a hazy gold into an English pint. Bright white head recedes to skim surface. Marshmallow and yeast aromas. Upfront lively and slick tangerine with a lasting astringent hop finish.

Bottle from John’s Marketplace in Portland, OR. Lightly hazy peachy gold color with a decent white head. Aroma is sort of peach fruit over light malt. Flavor suggests peach. Body is near medium over slight carbonation. There’s a green tea note. As time passes it’s still peach to me, but the bitter builds. Each sip has a great nose and a marvelous taste. It is somewhat spicey. Spiced peach. Love that.

500ml bottle. Golden straw colored beer, a little hazy. Creamy and smooth while retaining an earthy, mildly spicy, hop character. Fruity yeast esters and a light touch of golden honey make this one a perfect English session beer. Excellent stuff.

50 cL bottle. Pours cloudy and golden yellow to orange with a slowly collapsing chalk white head. Mild peach fruity hops aroma, quite inviting. Flavour is mild grapefruit and peachy hops with a light caramel malt beneath. Bitterness seems to take out the sweetness yet the balance seems quite good. Ends quite fruity and light bitter. Nice brew.
