Bottle from ASDA. Caramel and spicy hop aroma. Flavour was sweet, with a hint of toffee, red fruits and slightly metallic finish. Ok.

(Bottle, 8 Nov 2008) Amber colour with firm, frothy, beige head leaving lots of lacing. Fruity, floral nose with orange, peaches, toffee and honey. Fruity, rather hoppy taste with orange peel, apricots, toffee and ryvita. Dry and nice finish with balanced notes of citrussy hops. Medium body, very refreshing. In short: orange, apricots and toffee refreshment.

Bottle. A clear, dark golden beer with a mid-sized off-white head. Malty and bready aroma with a fruity touch, quite nice, but actually rather boring. The flavor is much the same, bready and malty, with caramel sweetness and some fruity hops, finishing in the same way. Could use some more bitterness. Quite dry mouthfeel. I find the beer a bit on the bready side, sure drinkable, but a bit ordinary. (080823)

[i] [b] Cask, gravity Merton Summer Beer Festival July 2005, retrospectively added from notes [/b] [/i] Pours golden in colour initially a tad sweet but the bitterness is there, reasonable hoppiness and fruitiness the sweetness returns again, its ok.

Medium light beige fine-laced head. Amber body with light carbonation. Faint sweetish fruity roasty nutty aroma with light toffee notes. Not much Goldings there. Dry and delicately sweetish roasty golden taste with strong nutty notes and a caramelly background. Harmonic and balanced. Also faintly watery. Body is medium to thin. Dry nutty, metallic aftertaste with roasty notes. This is clearly meant to be a summer ale, as it doesn’t have that much taste, but it definitely has some character. Good! (0.5l bottle from Systembolaget, Stockholm.)

Frothy bubbly head over an amber-golden body. Fresh summer smell of citrus and honey. Lightly caramel start giving way to a floral and rounded hoppy taste with bitter ending (shared with CinnamonGirl and Magne, Sommarøya 17.08.2007).

Golden to light amber color. The aroma is malty, ordinary, with some white sugar and the hop comes out with some effort. The mouthfeel is thin, and metallic too, with light malt flavor, a quite strong bitterness, lightly aromatic. The final is dry and long. Average.
