On draught at Horse Brass in Portland. This brew pours a dark amber color with a thin light beige head that dissipates steadily. Sheet of lacing on the glass. Citrusy hops and sweet malt in the nose. Medium body with flavors of leafy hops, citrus and malt. The finish is crisp and hoppy with a lingering fruity aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

can, pours deep carmel with a medium light tan head. Strong hop aroma with citrus tones. Flavor is sweet bready malts with a nutty character that ends with a nice dry hop wallop. Really nice and drinkable.

Can: Instant aroma of citrus fruitiness and caramel malt as soon as the can was cracked. True amber color with an ample creamy sand colored head. Tastes maltier than expected with a deep earthy bond to the floral hops. No citrus, like the nose would have suggested. Lingering bitters are bright, but not obtrusive. A downright drinkable amber from a can.

Can at post Borefts BF 09 tasting. Amber, lasting beige head. Good malty amber malts, easy drinking hop. Interesting enough to make you want more, not so intense you couldn’t drink a case of it. Good. Just the kind of thing to take with you fishing and drink all day.

Can, Beer Ritz, Leeds. How nice to actually get a canned beer that has character and is worth drinking. A rare treat indeed. Poured a light amber colour with a fading rocky white head. Decent grassy hop aroma with a hint of fruit in there too. Very hoppy flavour with some balancing malt evident leading to a dry finish. Interesting and well worth a look.

Can that I picked up from Bellingers, Jet Garage, Grove Nr Wantage, Oxon, consumed 15-10-09 pours orange with a slight orange tinge, off white head which is a bit filmy, also touch of haze and medium carbonation. Some toffee in the bite, touch of stickiness and sweet malts but these are more than balanced out by the crisp refreshing nature of this beer. Soft in the mouth, a little flush of fresh hops, very pleasant. A7 A4 F7 P4 Ov15 3.7

Can that I picked up from Bellingers, Jet Garage, Grove Nr Wantage, Oxon, consumed 15-10-09 Pours yellowy gold with some haze and a white head. The aroma is a bit sweet, in fact there is a boiled sweets flavour going on. Taste is also quite sweet, but there is a pleasant though quite tame bitterness. Little bit of Werthers Original, some light orange, nice stuff. A7 A3 F7 P4 Ov15 3.6
