Bottle from the Bottle Bank. Appearance - amber rather than golden, some head. Nose - biscuits with a zing of lemon. Taste - more into toffee and biscuits, a vague note of citrus again. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a finish that could be a little fresher, to be honest. Overall - decent ale. The person who loaded it, correctly put it into Bitter rather than a particular Pale Ale style.

Bottle from Ales By Mail [200814]
Orange, murky, orange white frothy head
Aroma of sweet fruity malts, soft orange and lemon citrus
Taste of citrus zest, very yeasty, barley orange malts, grainy, bit sherberty, bitter orange
Palate - medium carb and body, quite smooth, sweet malts, fairly bitter hops. Finish as main flavour.
Overall - Poured with a large head, rather yeasty and musty which spoilt it. Not bad but far too much yeast sediment

Cask at the Earl of Essex - London. Pours clear gold with a frothy white head. The aroma has some grainy read, berries, citrus and leaves. Light sweet flavor with doughy bread, more grains, faint grass, leaves, some orange, hints of toffee. Light bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Simple bready malt finish with further berries, toffee, light bitter earth and leaves. Solid bitter.

500ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours clear amber, thin off-white head. Aromas of light citrus, pine, resin, caramel. Taste is slightly chalky, more hop bitterness and quite well rounded out by sweet tastes. Pretty good.

500ml bottle. Minimally cloudy, orangey golden colour with average to huge, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, barely white head. Cautious fruity hoppy aroma, subtle hints of peach, a touch of gooseberry, caramel malty background lends sweet-ish fruitiness support. Taste is bitter hoppy with a mineral touch, hints of gooseberry, a touch of bitter orange, slightly biscuity caramel malty basis. Presumably matching the historic IPA flavour profile, definitely making me rebellious concerning the Bitter rubric. If we divide Session IPAs from regular IPAs (and APAs), I have certain difficulties with the concordance of English IPAs and Bitters.

Shared bottle at the fourth Shrewsbury bottle swap on 28th April 2014. I got a quarter of the 500ml. Cloudy amber body that had plenty of life, almost fizzy actually. Fruity aroma, a veritable basket of different fruits, some sweet, some citrusy sour, the taste mirrored the smells a real fruit bowl of a flavour. Pity about the over carbonation, a smoother, creamier body would have been nicer. Overall a semi-sweet fruity brew with enough bitterness to just about make it interesting.
