24th Jan 2015: shared bottle at the Cotteridge Wine meet. Decent blend and just about the least amount of alcohol to touch my lips all afternoon at the mega tasting session we all had. Golden yellow pour with a wispy white topping. The beer gave off a slight citrus aroma, the taste a mixture of light malty caramel sweetness and a hop citrusy bitterness: decent and a God send in amongst all the dark heavy hitters that came around it.

Bottle sampled in 2008. Clear amber body with a medium sized, dense beige head. Aroma is roasted caramel malt. Flavor is sweet caramel malt, light roasted and moderate bitterness. Medium body and moderate aftertaste. Drinkable, but pretty straight forward. The aroma seems to be the most impressing part in accordance with my score.

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits, dry citrus with mild sourness. Flavour is fruits, dry wood, sourness along with mild spicyness as well. Semidry palate. Fresh, but the sourness kind of sucks.

Cask, Newcastle Arms. Deep, dark brown with minimal muddy head. Aroma was stale coffee and roasted malt which continued into the flavour which had some subdued dark fruit and chocolate notes. A drinkable mild, and relatively full for the low ABV.
