Gravity dispense at the CPFC beer festival, 2013. Reddish-brown pour with an off-white head. Quite a nice nose. Licorice, toffee, caramel and marzipan in there. Licorice toffee flavour with a sweet toffee base. Heavy malt action. Malt laden finish. Nice.

Bottle at home on 15th January 2013; Christmas gift. Pours golden amber with thin white part-lacing foam. Rich hoppy aroma. Deliciously hoppy in-mouth with tangy citrus, a little smoke and savoury touches. Finish is fairly citric and biscuit-malty with developing bitterness. Zingy, engaging texture and medium body. Excellent.

Bright clear amber beer. Modest head. Crispy palate, a little dry. Nicely balanced clean malt with a little toffee. Then clean juicy hops providing some very minerally citrus. Refreshing light bitter, goes down very easy. A little tea in the bitter aftertaste.

Cask at the Wandsworth Common Spring BF, Le Gothique, London. Pours clear gold with a foamy, white head. Dry hay nose with some dough, white sugar and straw. Medium sweet flavor with doughy malts and bitter straw. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Good condition. Doughy malt finish with some toasty hay lending a little hop bite. Nice beer overall.

Very suprised to find this bottle in a shop located in North East Lincolnshire (Cleethorpes to be exact). The original review has been lost on the BA site somehow, so this is a quick check of my memory. Average throughout, I was disappointed with it to be honest. I’ll review it again if i ever come across it, honest!

500ml Brown bottle, best before the end of May 2012, poured into a UK pint sleeve July 2011. Lovely bright, light amber/orange body, clean and clear. On top a snow white foaming head. Good hoppy smell, both floral and citrusy spicey. No malt aromas, but I found hints of yeast esters within those hop smells. The flavours within the taste were a blend of various hops and unobtrusive malts which came together very, very well. The body appears a little watery, but this isn’t a strong UK beer and it can be allowed to have a thin-ish depth of body. It doesn’t take away any of it’s drinkability one iota. Would love to try this in cask form if I ever come across it, I will.

Cask at the London Drinker BF. Pours a clear amber with a moderate, white head. Mostly malts in the nose, hints of caramel and floral hops. Light to medium sweet flavor, some bread and mild citrus bitters. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Reasonably well balanced on the finish, bit more bread, and notes of grass and citrus hops. Decent.
