Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. It’s a clear, dark golden beer with a small, off-white head. Fruity, grassy and slighlty flowery nose with a touch of something spicy or herbal. The flavor has biscuity malts, some toffee and bitterness, as well as the same herbal or spiced note found in the aroma. Medium to full body, pleasant carbonation. Herbal, grassy and toffee-biscuity malts in the end. Well, quite drinkable, but rather uninteresting. 110415

bottle from Trumps, Sidmouth. Clear golden colour, large white head. Shy malty base with some shy citrusy hops. Rather boring - was it oxidised because of the clear glass bottle?

Cask at The Green Lion Inn, Malmö
Hazy golden color, no head. Aroma of refined sugar, light apple skins. Soft mouthfeel, some malt flavor, light residual sweetness, but mostly smooth; correct bitterness; light citrus fruits and lemon peel, more of it in the end. Unimpressive.
