(bottle, bought in Dortmund, Germany) Hazy, amber colour with a short, off-white foamy head. Aromatic floral and resiny hops aroma with fruity berry notes and a touch of liquorice. Bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied but far away from being watery; soft carbonation. Slightly toasted malty base with berries and a pleasant, slightly spicy, resiny hop-character; dry and moderately bitter finish, again with pleasant fruity accents. This one shows once more that a good beer does not necessarily need a high abv.

Cask gravity at Red Lion, Snargate. Quite a fruity pale ale. Some earthy hop, some nice citrus too. Fine session beer with good pear drop hop flavour. Good condition.

An orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet fruity with light flowery hoppy notes as well as caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel and fruit, leading to a dry end. The body is thin.

Bottle brought over from Leeds, England, by a friend of mine. Bought in a special beer shop in Leeds.Light brown color. Small white head. My bottle was over carbonated, errupted and played volcano one second after being opened. A bit wine like scent. Starts of with a bit burnt taste, turns to cream and butterscotch, ends a bit acid. Very low bitterness. Might be the original volcano thing, bu twas now pretty much without carbondioxide and flat/stale.Iād call it complex but not balanced.

Cask. Amber colour, small head. VERY hoppy aroma. Dry-hopped like f***? Smells like pure hops. Very aromatic, piney hop flavour. Nice.

A very sweet hoppy aroma with notes of grass. A great aroma. The color is amber and it has a beutiful head. The flavor is very hoppy - mostly bitter hops - on a sweet background - combined with notes of caramel, bread, and flowers. A quite nice beer.

Sampled cask conditioned. Copper coloured. Flowery hop aroma. Fruity and malt accented. Rather sweet. A hint of toffee. Slightly salty finish.
