Aroma has malt and cake dough. Golden color with a hint of copper. A bit sweetish, but with a firm hopbitterness and some malt. Hint of orange fruit. Well balanced, a bit nutty ale.

Claims to be the first ever organic beer brewed (back in the 1990’s). Good for Spock and other Vegans I suppose. This 500ml brown bottle had a best before date of 26 Sep 2008, I drank it a month later. Poured into a Batemans pint glass, it was a golden slightly hazey colour with a good sized white head which slowly faded to a collar and a wispy covering. The aroma was of flowers and cut grass, very floral indeed. The beer was spritzy more than fizzy, a twang of citrus fruits in the taste. Unlike most UK brewed beers I’ve had. Sadly there was something missing, where was the 5% alcohol, where was the bitterness I was expecting and like? Overall not too bad, it just lacked that bitterness I require in a UK pint.

Rich honey and hay nose with juniper undertones. Cloudy golden, thin head. Honey and barley flavor, somewhat metallic. Grassy finish, with a tinge of honey. Cask-like mouthfeel. Nicely hopped. Distinctive and enjoyable.
