Pours a clear straw gold colour with a thin near white head. Aroma is biscuity malt and floral hops. Moderately sweet biscuit malt taste with some of the floral hop flavours from the Yakima. Disappointing finish, not much there.

Bottle from the Robert Gillow, Lancaster. Brownish amber, clear with a spotty bit of a head. Resinous and citrus peel aroma. Tastes sweet with a plastic note. Finish is more bitter. Fairly artificial all things considered, big resinous notes but not much else.

Gylden brun klar med lavt beige skum. Lukter maltekstrakt, kandis og noe trevirke. Middels fylde. Søtlig maltig smak. Lett bitterhet. Noe honning. Kort.

Tap at the Birmingham Hotel, Melbourne. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a thin white head. The aroma is grainy malt, light woody hop. The flavour is moderate to light bitter with a light, watery, skunky malt, light dry floral hop bitter palate and a lingering somewhat unpleasant bitter finish. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation. Not the most pleasant drinking experience I’ve had and one that I won’t repeat any time ever! The lingering bitterness in the finish simply prolonged the agony.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up at a Mare Street offie. Pours clear orange-gold with a frothy, white head. The nose has simple malts, caramel, vague pine, ripe citrus. Medium sweet flavour with ample gooey citrus, crackers, orange, lightly aged pine. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with more basic bready pale malts, honey, ripe citrus, faint piney bitterness. Real entry-level stuff.
