Bottle. Dark amber with a slight off-white head. Aroma of caramel, spices and citrus hops. The flavour was of oranges and chocolate and a decent bitter finish. Very good.

500ml bottle picked up at Sainsbury’s, Holborn and shared with Magne and CinnamonGirl. Dense, white head rapidly diminishing. Spicy and floral malty aroma. Mandarin and juicy fruit in a refreshing taste. Notes of biterness towards the end. Fizzy and medium mouthfeel (01.02.2007).

Bottle, picked up in Sainsbury’s. Pours mid brown with a very slight haze, some nice gentle malty and spicey notes. Taste is very pleasing, again malts and spices and a nice richness with good bitterness levels a really nice beer and certainly one of the better seasonal oferings tried so far this Christmas.

500ml bottle from Sainsbury. Reddish chestnut, lasting rocky beige head. Good strong hop aroma, lovely choc malt in mouth. More of the green hops and aromatic hop on end too. Rather and excellent bitter. O’Hanlon really do make some fantastic beers. Rich and full in the mouth. Carbonation is just right. That green earthy hop aroma, really is quite lovely.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pours a hazy amber golden with a small, off-white head. Fresh and citric aroma. Light-bodied and again fresh and citric flavours with a touch of caramel. A vague, hoppy finish. 211006
