Distinctive balance between the flavours of fruity Golding variety hops, Maris Otter malted barley and demerara sugar.
Strong and refreshingly long, dry and bitter finish.

500 ml bottle. Golden, clear body with a white head. Discreet hoppy aroma. Flavor is malty, a little bitter and a little hint of floral hops. OK but nothing else.

Cask at GBBF 2006. Handpull. Copper colour with thin off white head. Odd citrus aroma. Odd lemon, but more lime in the citrus mix. Some yeast. Some hopo on end. A little bizarre and not what I was expecting

Bottled. Weak, lightly malty aroma, with some hops and a little metallic note. Almost copper-colored with a nice off-white head. Clear. Malty and bready up front, with hops and some caramel coming shortly after. Nice body and a finish with bitterness and a touch of sweetness. Pleasant, but a little too anonymous. (060525)

Bottled. Coppercoloured, mediumsized white head. Aroma of hops, malts and fruit. Some sour notes also. Flavour is grassy hoppy with weak fruitish notes. This is just pure crap, just the like the crappy TV soap opera this most likely is named after...

500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal, Stavanger. ABV on the label is 4.2%, also confirmed by the brewery website. Has the ABV really been 5% before and changed? or has the ABV at RB simply been incorrect all the time? Clear amber colour, large off-white lasting head. Moderate carbonation. Moderate but pleasant hoppy aroma, hints of fruits, oak and leather. Flavour is mildly spicy and fruity, slightly acidic. Tolerable hops in the finish. Refreshing and easy drinking. Not too bad for a pasteurised moderate-ABV bitter.
