Keg @ Bell Inn, Nottingham. Hazy golden with a small head. Carbonated brew, reducing its sweet fruity taste, although it remains fairly exotic in aroma. Subdued aftertaste in this respect.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Tesco. Pours clear, bright copper with a frothy, off-white head. Medium sweet flavour with notes of toasted malts, grapes, dried berries, mellow earthy hops, toasted toffee. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Moderately sweet finish, further bready malts, a little toffee, English yeast, dried berries. Not bad.

Servida en pinta. Color dorado claro, ligeramente turbia, espuma blanca de escasa retención. Aroma floral, hierba, lúpulo, fruta tropical (papaya)... Cuerpo bajo, bastante acuosa, algo amarga, predomina el lúpulo, notas de papaya y fruta de la pasión, muy ligera (quizá demasiado). La sensación en boca es un tanto fugaz, apenas entra ya tiende a escapar, eso si, dejando cierto retrogusto amargo y a césped recién cortado que si tienes paciencia en unos minutos también te abandonará. Por mi parte nada especial, una experiencia cervecera mas sin pena ni gloria, no me invita a repetir....

Bottle from Tesco in Pulborough. Color: Clear amber, beige head. Aroma: Malty, caramel, some fruitcake, subtle butter. Taste: Malty, caramel, some fruit cake, hints of nuts. Quite some hopbitterness. Starting malty, finishing more hoppy. Green hops, dry-ish finish.A bit disappointing, was hoping for better.

Smooth bready beginning. Bitter with a grainy back. Easy to drink, malty dry, bitter with a strange bready cardboard finish.

Realised I'd never rated this, so let's do it. Looks good in the glass. This is a proper, old school bitter - hops and malt with a bit of caramel. Very drinkable, but will never set the world on fire.

Bottle. Clear dark orange/brown with a small white head. Aroma of malts, nuts and raisins. Taste of caramel, nuts, chocolate, toffee, a hint of oranges, raisins and herbs. Distinctive herbal bitterness. Low to medium carbonation. Almost creamy mouthfeel. Well I certainly enjoyed this one.
