Bottle, 3.7%. Clear orange amber colour. Small frothy white head. The flavour has a little butter, but no more than can be tolerated. The aroma hop is grassy, but not exactly great.

50cl bottle from Waitrose, Cambridge. Reddish amber with a thin off-white mead; fruity malt aroma with a touch of citrus; good roast malt body with a bit of chocolate, and a soft mellow mouthfeel; and a sharp dry citrus finish. An excellent ordinary bitter.

Bottled. Hazy amber. Fruity melon aroma. Sweet with light body and rounded mouthfeel. The hop rate is quite low, and with it’s low gravity the notes of green apples are given plenty of room to dominate the flavour profile. Unconvincing.

The aroma is sweet and hoppy with notes of oranges. The color is a dark amber and it has a fine head. The flavor is bitter, hoppy, sweet, and grassy. The body is a little thin.
