Light amber. Vaguely fruity hoppy character. Nice balance with a slight juicy acidity. Good brew.

Cask handpump at Cornubia, Bristol. Quite an unappealing extremely pale gold / straw colour. Frothy head initially, which soon went. Dry and hoppy. Not great I’m afraid.

Cask@Pembury Tavern, London. Goldeny orange colour with a small white head. Aroma is fruits, caramel, some floral notes as well as some nectar. Flavour is bready malts, caramel, some floral and nectary notes along with some herbs. Pleasant golden ale.

Cask at The Royal Blenheim, Oxford 24-08-09 Pours gold with white head, in very good nick. Nice hoppy beer, good crisp bite and decent citrus flavours, a tasty beer. This certainly seems to be an improvement on the experience that others have had, good beer. A6 A4 F7 P4 Ov13 3.4

Cask at the Oakdale Arms, London N4, on 3rd June 2009. Golden ale with very little head (white) and a flat texture. The head dies quickly to become non-existent halfway down the pint glass. When compared to well-kept Dionysus I personally found Icarus to be disappointing, primarily on account of flatness and slightly cloying flavours. Grapefruit and resinous aroma soon giving way to a sharp, acidic taste which I personally found unfavourable by comparison to other Milton beers. However tastes differ, and from experience the quality of Icarus does vary.
