Bottled. Hazy amber. Fruity melon aroma. Sweet with light body and rounded mouthfeel. The hop rate is quite low, and with it’s low gravity the notes of green apples are given plenty of room to dominate the flavour profile. Unconvincing.

Amber color. Quite flat flavor, but very nice hoppy aroma and palate; a bit thin, dry mouthfeel, resinous.

Cask conditioned at the 32nd Cambridge Beer Festival, gravity dispense. Black (= VERY dark brown) colour. Some natural carbonation, zesty, very nice. Pleasant roasty aroma. Flavour has dark chocolate, walnuts and roast barley. Not overdone, easy drinking.

[Bottled conditioned] This beer was rather skunky even though it was within the best before date. The color is red and it has a fine beige head, though disappearing. The aroma was sour. The flavor was of caramel and sourness before a slightly bitter end. I hope my version was bad.

The aroma is sweet and hoppy with notes of oranges. The color is a dark amber and it has a fine head. The flavor is bitter, hoppy, sweet, and grassy. The body is a little thin.
