Bottled. Copperish amber colour with medium white head. Skunkyness along with hops , berries and fruits in aroma. Flavour is plesantly berryish and hoppy. Almost like it would be very bitter, but balanced up with sugar. Still I liked it very much. hoppy and slightly earthy finish.

Bottled (BB 04/2008)
Clear amber color, small white head. Woody-toffeish hoppy, slightly fruity aroma. Quite typical Shepherd Neameโs pasteurised bitter: Kentish oaky hops, a bit sweet in the beginning then dry woody finish. Also fruity and ashy flavors. Almost like Master Brew or Bishops Finger but more watery. Fizzy mouthfeel in the aftertaste.

When poured the first impression is of a lively, caramel coloured beer, with a large cream head; there is a grassy, summery aroma, and the taste has a citrus bite, leading to a biscuity aftertaste. Brilliant.

Golden amber ale with a thick white head. Initial skunky aroma followed by a light caramel malt with light herbal hops. In mouth, a rather light malt with some decent grassy hops, sustained and pleasant, very British. A light bitter for summer. LCBO July 2006.

Bottle: Deep golden to light amber coloured, firm and stable white head; dry bitter hoppy nose; robust (hoppy) bitter flavour; lingering aromatic herbal-hoppy finish with a light, dry maltiness in the background. Light bodied. A fine summer ale, pleasantly rounded, moreish !

This ale poureds a dark orange with a creamy white head. First to the nose would be the slight skunk when the bottle opened. Then after that cleared hops to no end. Juniper, orange citrus and a spice I canโt put my finger on were very prodominant. First sip was shocking with flavour to this dead palate with strong hop flavour. Slight bitter finish that lasted forever.

Bottle: Poured an orangey color ale with a big pure white foamy head with good retention. Aroma of bitter hops is quite dominating with some distant malt. Taste is hoppier then expected from an English bitter with the distinctive presence of Goldings hops and a good base of malt. Body is about average with medium carbonation. Better then a lot of English import in clear bottle that we get here.
