Amber ale with a hoppy nose. The taste is hoppy and quenching, with a light, malty sweetness. Dry, hoppy finish.

Bottled@my birthdaybash@Chriso. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits, caramel, mild apples and some riped fruity notes. Flavour is quite much the same. Rather harsh and has got some kind of infection probably..

Bottled at oh6gdx’s birthday bash at chriso’s. Hazy pale amber, small head. Caramelly lemon aroma. Dry and lemony with some roastiness. Nice doughy malt behind an unclean tartness. Low bitterness.

BCA, present from mate Bob picked up at beer shop in Wells-next-the-Sea. Poured amber, this was a good solid tasty bitter, very flavoursome, strength noticeable but drinks well, nice malty base, really enjoyable.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 06. Copper colour. Hey, this is a bitter! Some citrus, but overall a dullish bitter.
