Brewed traditionally with Challenger and Fuggles wholeleaf hops, Maris Otter and Crystal malts and a trace of coriander. It is the first bottled ale of its type and is truly a class apart. It is very smooth and refreshing on the palate. Accompanies all tasty food, particularly curries, Chinese and Thai dishes.

Bottle. Slightly hazy palish amber with white head. Very floral hoppy aroma. light body and carbonation. Floral sweet delicate flavour gives way to elegant bitterness and coriander. Very pleasant and unusual.

Bottled at Ølfestival, Århus, 2008. A hazy light amber beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet flowery combined with light notes of honey. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of spicy leading to a dry bitter finish.

Bottle. Cherry/orange and coriander aroma. Yellow amber color with large head. Strong flowery coriander flavor - not really anything else that I can taste. If you love coriander, defintely a beer for you.
