Bottle, thx to fonefan. A clear, golden beer with a small, off-white head. Looking really good actually. Quite nice aroma, piney and citrusy on a malty base, but a bit weak. Quite piney and hoppy flavor, at least for an English, leading to a long, hoppy finish. Full-bodied. A pretty good one, wanting more after the first sips. (080823)

[500ml bottle from Norfolk Square Brewery Shop, Great Yarmouth] Pours an attractive, sparkling-clear orange-amber with a thin but lasting white head and soft but prickly carbonation. Not sure why others had hazy beer - don’t know if they hadn’t let the lively sediment settle out properly? Has a tempting fresh sweet malt aroma. Floral hops and a refreshing bitterness at first. Develops caramel, malt and - yes - a little burnt marmalade. In fact, it’s surprisingly complex - I’m sure a proper beer reviewer could find a dozen flavours here! Unfortunately, the bitterness builds to unpleasant depths in the aftertaste. This is certainly an interesting beer that tempts me to try more from the brewery; however, I’m not sure I’d particularly choose this one again.

Bottled at RBESG 2007. A hazy orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of oranges. The flavor is sweet malty with primary notes of fruit. The body is thin.

Bottle at home ...Golden Orange ... Light hop nose ... Sweet orange ... mellow fruit ... some juicy hops ... little fruit malt balanced well with an intersting sweet hop character.... Im really quite enjoying sipping and savouring the depth and charcter of this beer more than the flavour would initially suggest ... Cask at Paisley Beer Festival 2008 ... hazy amber fruit sweet ... orange peal and little hop ... very bitter linger.

Bottled at RBESG ’07. Hazy pale amber. Hay-like hops, honey and flowers crowd the nose. Sweet and medium bodied. Well hopped with orangey notes and pleasant long bitterness.

Cask handpull at Fat Cat, Norwich. Amber, disappearing head. It’s got quite a syrupy golden syrup flavour, bit of demerrara sugar. Decent hit of hop on finish. Quite full in mouth. A strongish golden bitter. I really like the hop on the finish.

Cask at The Fat Cat Norwich 25 Sep 2006. Pale golden coloured. A tiny head. Hardly any aroma. Some fruity flavour - but rather weak. Sweet bitter finish.
