500ml bottle at home. Pours hazy copper brown with a thin white head. Very nutty aromas, some caramel, light earthy hops. Taste has too much of the nutty sweetness going on for me. Light body and thin texture, soft carbonation and a nutty finish! OK.

500ml bottle at home. Pours clear pale amber with a thin white head. Light malt aromas, touch of floral hops. Taste has a good bitterness, with a light caramel sweetness. Touch thin on the texture, bitter finish. Not bad though, all in all.

500ml bottle at home. Pours hazy straw yellow with a big pillowy white head. Aromas of lemon and hay. Taste is a little bit soapy, then a good following bitterness. Light body, but rich mouthfeel considering the strength. Good hoppy bitter finish. Nice.

500ml bottle shared with jeevan. Pours hazy amber with a little head, soft carbonation. Aromas of light caramel malt and floral hops. Taste is light bitter, light biscuity sweetness, and a mineral note at the end. Finishes clean and crisp. A fine beer.

GBBF. Cask. Clear gold beer. Semi soft and semi dry palate. No carbonation. Watery malt and insipid apologetic hop. Finishes watery. Appreciated the pump clip but the beer was a let down!
