Orange brown color. Hoparoma with touches of citrus and blackcurrant. Hoppy, just a bit earthy flavor with laurel and blackcurrant. Hopbitter blackcurrant aftertaste with a touch of plastic. Thinnish.

Old school English bitter made with hops from the famed Kew Gardens; the profits are invested in the protection of endangered plant species, so this beer immediately gained my sympathy. Amber coloured bitter with soft caramelly and nutty malt sweetishness, dried fruits and spicy hops in the finish, well balanced.

BotTle picked up from Waitrose 10th July 2006. Pours a golden colour, definate hoppy and floral notes to this beer, tasted also very hoppy with nice bitterness levels and all in all a pretty good beer.
