Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin bublly off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel, but also light notes of fruit and a light acidity. The flavor is acidic malty with notes of lemon. Thanks to fonefan and Brugmansia for sharing.

Bottle, shared by fonefan. Pours a hazy copper body with just some off-white bubbles for a head. The aroma has some citric, dusty and sour notes, but at least they are not masking all of the caramel. The flavor has a blend of citrus and malt, with some hoppy bitterness, but just a tiny one. Medium body. Citrus-fruity and bitter finish, quite weak. What can I say, not very good, not completely off, but it seems it’s on it’s way. (080822)

50 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a small off-white head. Orange fruity to mild grapefruity hops aroma. Flavour is initially grapefruity hoppy before a solid citric infection appears. Still holds a mild hops flavour along this into the finish. Not good though.

[i] Bottle picked up from the Dodgi’ Deli’, Cowley Road, Oxford and consumed whilst gliding down the Thames on a narrowboat [/i] Poured fairly standard brown with large white head, hoppy aroma. Slight sourness initially, but malts were present, hops again and bit fruity ending with a dry bitter finish.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 06. Deep copper colour. Toffee/caramel aroma, but harsh dry hop too. Tingly on end of tongue. In fact very harsh hop on the end.
