Copperbrown beer with a medium and blond head. Aroma is quite fresh, fruitness, some toffee, orangemarmelade and berries. Taste is purely biscuity and some toffeeish maltyness, some aromatic, nicely dry also in the beginning, medium wooden bitterness. Balanced aroma and taste, enjoyable and no musty. Quite light to drink, balanced carbonation, nice to drink. Succesfull bitter without annoying musty, quite aromatic and pleasant.

This time, the nose has oranges and malt. There’s less grapefruit on the taste this time and more malt and some ginger nut biscuits going on. The sum of the parts of this beer is excellent, so overall mark is higher than aroma or taste. Original rating 01/07/11 - 7/4/7/4/14 = 3.6 50cl bottle. Pours amber with gentle bubbles and a good head. The nose has delicate malt and some grapefruit as well as grapefruit pith. The taste has a massive grapefruit note on a gentle malt profile. The palate has a medium structure and texture and a lovely fresh finish, Overall, a tastey ale that could be sessioned.

From a 500ml bottle on 26/6/2011. Pours golden orange with a thick head. The aroma is fairly subdued - just a little bready malt and some cider like notes - which doesn’t give much of a hint of the flavours to come. In the mouth, there is heaps going on, and it’s quite impressive from something that’s only 4.1%. There’s a nice malt/hop balance, with some sweet caramel, fruits (particularly orange) and marmalade. Has a sharp, spicy, almost salty, hop finish which lingers long. The carbonation starts out as little high but seems to settle down in the glass. Very nice stuff.

Cask @ Town Hall Tavern, Leeds. Appearance - Black with creamy off white head. Aroma of roasted malt with some spicy hops. Taste of roast malt, sweet molasses, some burnt toast notes with a background of spicy hops. Tastes like a porter/stout version of Landlord. Very nice beer, easy drinking, smooth and creamy.

Bottle at home. Clear amber pour, effervescent, with a foamy white head. Crisp malts on the nose, some sugar and fruits, bit of earthy hops. Nice flavor, not too sweet, with pleasant biscuits, straw and earthy bitterness. Light to medium in body with average carbonation. Crisp finish, some nice hop bite, touches of toffee and more lightly baked bread. Very nice beer.

Warning! Early amateur rating! Crisp palate. Floral notes. Lots of hop bitterness in the finish. Not much hop fruit. Bit bland.

(Bottle, 0.5 l, from K Supermaker Kamppi, Helsinki) The beer poured deep amber and clear. Its head was quite small, white, bubbly and long lasting. Aroma had hops, grain, dry hay and grass. Palate was medium bodied and bit dry with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, grain, hops, grass, mild fruitiness, hint of sweetness and medium bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. Slight musty character both in aroma and in taste. Still a good hoppy bitter.
