Bottle from The Beerhive. Hazy amber body with a thin off-white head. Steady carbonation. Light lacing. Aroma of grass, peach and orange. Flavour follows suit - fresh and fruity. Thin body with a watery, slight oily texture. Simple and tasty. I enjoyed it.

500ml bottle bought at The MicroBar in Manchester and shared with Finn. Close to clear amber coloured body. Decent head-lacing. Grassy hops to the nose joined by a bread-like touch. Blended taste of leafy hops, dried fruits and caramel sweetness. Rather sharp, but short-lived, bittering endnotes. Just alright (on the train from Manchester to York, 26.01.2013).

50cl bottle. Pours amber with a nice sized head and steady carbonation. The nose has digestive biscuites and a gentle toffee, maybe even caramel. The taste is toffee and biscuits, in fact it is a Crunchie Bar. The palate is medium bodied with a generous, creamy texture in the middle section and a nice dry finish. Overall, this is a great bitter.
