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.

From Good Beer Guide recommended pub Old Queens Head, Aldham, Essex. I have found Timothy Taylor Landlord to be a bit hit and miss and rather over rated in the past, but this one yesterday was served up really well and was an enjoyable pint.

Tap at Argyll Arms. Pours a clear, copper-gold with a faint, bubbly white head. Ginger cake aroma, malty, with very little hops. Lightly sweet flavor, quite malty with more cake notes, mild spices, and perhaps the faintest hints of bitterness. Medium in body with fine carbonation. Has a sweet finish with easy, earthy bitters finally acting up. (3.6)

Lifht sqeet flavor with toasty sugars, tasty bread, light leafy bitterness, light esters. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Superb condition. Great finish, moderate bready malt sweetness, light leafy hops, further berries. Just an absolute classic bitter. On form this is hard to beat. (4.0)

Cask, Hesketh Golf Club with Brad..The first one of these didn’t touch the sides after a mean 18 in the sizling late summer sun. Standard golden colour with a medium sized creamy white head. Nose revealed some grassy hop, citrus and malt notes. Flavour had a malty spine with some fruity character and restrained yet well placed hoppage. Definitely one of the better beers out there at this strength. Straightforward and tidy thirst quencher that is pretty dang moreish. Fore !

500ml bottle. Pours a deep orange with a large head. Aroma is bready with some earthy hops. Some orange in there too. Some orange to start, with a really strong bitter finish. Really full in the mouth. Why have I not bought this before?
