Bottle from Malt & Vine. Pours hazy medium amber with a foamy white head. Aroma is very floral. Medium body with sharp but foamy carbonation. Flavor is light stone fruit, light citrus, mild roast malt, and a lot of florality. Smooth. Sensuous. Could drink this forever.

Cask at the Claret Free House in Croydon on 21/11/2009. Copper coloured with whitish head. Spicy and hoppy with a lot of fruit and the flavour of a sweet variety of Orval. A zingy mouthfeel and a long hoppy finish.

Bottle, picked up at the Dodgy Deli’, Cowley Rd, Oxford, 15-09-06. Amber, with small white head, some malt on the aroma, good body and very tasty, really enjoyed this beer, some fruits and malt shine through but with a nice flourish of hops at the finish.

Bottle. The pour presented a spare, fizzy head atop a light orange, clear body. The aroma was mostly malts — grain, straw, cereal, celery with some slightly sweet notes. The flavor was only a little sweet with hints of grass and grain and mostly bitter in the finish. Moderate dryness. Medium body is somewhat oily. Uninteresting.

A dark amber beer with a fine white head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of caramel and grass. The flavor is sweet and very hoppy - but not my type of hop. The flavor also contains notes of caramel.
