Daffodils were blooming as early as January last winter. Mildly hazed golden coloured ale. Nice cask texture with light sweet tropical fruit notes, evident in aroma too. Nothing too exciting though, just a.solid enough beer.

Fra fat på The Cheshire Cheese (nei, ikke Ye Olde CC), sammen med Stephen: uklar lys gylden med fint skum som varer lenge. Søt citrus, pensjonsfrukt og aprikos. Fin bitterhet med slank maltkropp og i det hele utmerket forfriskende.

Can. Nose is pineapple, mango, lilt, hint of minerality. Taste is sweet mango, hint of banana, pineapple, lots of peach, touch of citrus.

It's very sweet and fruit juice, but I enjoyed it

Can from the Co-operative.
Appearance - cloudy yellow to orange and a nicely proportioned off-white head.
Nose - ripe pear, soft melon and edging to mango.
Taste - juicy pear again, orange zest to the fore, mango skin hanging in at the end.
Palate - medium bodied, creamy and pulpy. Zesty finish.
Overall - dangerously smashable!
