Bottle: Golden coloured, mid-sized lacing white head, light fruity (citrus)-malty nose with a distinctive hoppy touch; light to medium bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied; sweet-flowery-hoppy finish, a bit lingering, with a fruity-zesty touch. O.K., refreshing and clean.........

Bottled (BB 12/2008)
Pale golden color, very small white head. Nose is nutty hoppy, light notes of oak, vanilla and aromatic hops. Light, almost watery, pale malty with yeast flavors and vague apricot hints. Must be a lot of better in the cask. Now bland.

[i] Bottle, Many thanks to Craig aka Cgarvieuk for picking this up for me [/i] Poured golden with huge white fluffy head, aroma sweetish bit of vanilla maybe. Tasted quite sweet but also reasonable hoppy, overall a nice beer and very quaffable but a little bit limited.

(Bottle 50 cl) Fully golden, clear beer with a rather high carbonation. The very good aroma-hops spices up a traditional bitter proving that also a low alcohol beer can contain a lot of flavour. Very hoppy. 090504

Clear golden color, short head. Very hoppy aroma. Dry bitter taste and palate. Not really interesting.

The aroma is light but perfumated sweet and malty. The color is golden and it has a fine though disappearing head. The flavor is sweet, malty, and rather bitter. This beer is a bit light in the palate - but really good for a 3.8% ABV.
