(bottle) My sample is fairly hazy (has been carried today), orange-golden colour with a short creamy, slightly off-white layer. Slightly sweet, lemony and slightly piney hops aroma. Bitter flavour with slight sweet edges, light bodied but not too slim nor watery; smooth carbonation. Soft cara-malty taste, subtle fruity (lemon) with a good dash of fruity and resiny hops. Dry and bitter, slim but nevertheless quite lasting hoppy finish with a lemony aftertaste and traces of caramel-malty sweetness. Decent and tasty light Ale.

500ml bottle from Peckhams, Glasgow. Gold/copper, thin beige, slightly fruity peachy aroma, some niceish hop. This fruity hop thing is pretty good. Bit of empty candy sugar, but otherwise tasty.

Moderately more hoppy than the blonde. Amber, refreshing, but again, not remarkable.

Cask@MarketPorter. Deep golden colour, not much head. Aroma is some bittery fruityness along with grassy hints. Flavour is malts and hops in a not too exciting way. Still refreshing.

500ml bottle from Threshers. Gold with a thin white head; rich citrus and honey aromas; clean and smooth, managing to balance a honeyed sweetness and a grapefruit tartness at the same time; a warming finish. A marvellous beer.

Cask at JDW. Nice copper colour with a very small amount of head. Hop, staw like flavour and similar taste. A little citric acid in there aswell. Nothing extraordinary, but very drinkable.

(50 cl bottle at The Rover, Göteborg) Clear golden color, small white head. Weak malty scent. Sweet grainy malty taste. Medium mouthfeel and bitterness. Not vory nice, nor very special. Perhaps this is a beer better tasted early in the evening before you drink anything heavier.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pours a hazy, amber golden with a tiny, off-white head. Fresh, citric aroma. Rather light in body with a discreet caramel sweetness and a dry, astringent, citric bitterness. 010307
