Pours amber with a huge head.Nose shows lots of grapefruit and pine alongside earthy and resinous hops. Also shows some sweet bready malt. Very English, but in a full-on hoppy way.Similarly hoppy flavours with little in the way of malt backing, just a faint sweet bready note. Pleasant enough.Moderate carbonation could really be higher.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with an off-white head. The aroma has notes of citrusy hops, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel as well as subdued notes of hops lending it notes of citrus and elderflowers, leading to a bitter finish.

Bottle, 10C. Amber with a small tightly-packed beige head. Medium bead. Aroma: earth, fruit, resin and spice over toffee and shortcake. Taste has lots of butterscotch with earth and spices. Long, rather genteel bitterness. A tad heavy - I liked it but I didn’t fancy another - and the malt character verged on caricature.

Dull tan. The aroma has light fruit, mincemeat tart and a little bit of butter. On the palate, there is plenty of butter - toasted butter even - along with soft anglohops and light caramel.

(Bottle 50 cl) Slightly hazy, pale amber golden with a rough, white head. Citrus and caramel in the nose. Medium body, a little low in carbonation with a very soft mouthfeel. Plenty of caramel, lots of fruity flavours but otherwise completely dominated by distinct, citrusy hops that also leave a solid bitterness. Almost more like an APA. 040208

Draught at the brewpub. Clear amber. Grassy mangoish hop aroma. Dryish and crisp with medium body. Really hoppy with strikingly bitterfinish.
