Bottle. Almost clear gold, white head. Low bead. Aroma of dusty pears, light caramel, flowers. Taste has biscuity malt that’s not very sweet at all, pears and mandarins. Quite dry and bitter. Pretty good.

Bottle: Golden, hazy, fluffy and lacy white head, fruity and hoppy nose with a light touch of brown bread; quite robust dry bitter flavour, solid bodied for a beer of 3.8%; lingering dryish hoppy-malty finish, quite soft. Very good for a "light" beer.....

Bottle, 3.8%. Grassy aroma, mild but OK. Clear yellow colour. Stable white head. There seems to a hint of smoke in the flavour. It makes the beer a tad more interesting. Grainy finish.

(bottle) Slightly hazy, golden colour with a thick and dense, slightly off-white foamy head. Citrus-fruity and slightly zesty hoppy aroma with a balancing amount of sweet (cara-)malt. Moderately bitter flavour, light bodied with a crispy carbonation. Well-balanced malty base with notes of biscuits and fruity, slightly woody hops, leading into a dry and bitter finish with aromatic hops character. Pretty aromatic and flavourful for the low abv. 03.XI.09

Bottle. It pours a slighlty hazy, golden body under an off-white, dense head. Fruity hops, some bread and caramel in the aroma. Flavorwise it has a biscuity, malty backbone, with fruity, slightly resiny hops giving a nice bitterness. Medium to full body, rather dry. Fine, resiny bitterness in the finish. Overall, it’s a bit weak on aroma, quenching, and very British. 090726
