50cl bottle from Naked Grape, Alresford. Amber with a ring of white head; floral aroma; cidery flavour, as if made from some sweetly perfumed dessert apples; then some meadow hay giving a gentle bitterness and a dry finish with a touch of rasping alcohol. Rather unbalanced.

50cl bottle from The Naked Grape, Alresford.A headless, murky chestnut pour, looking rather liveless; aroma of chocolate malts; the taste is mainly of tart apples, then a sweet, grainy, body develops with a touch of milk chocolate; but the tart fruit dominates and carries through to the end. Not a very pleasant pint - drunk well inside it’s Best Before date (07/13), but seemingly way past its best.

Bottle at the Half Moon, Windlesham - 03/09/12. Slightly hazy orange/yellow. Citrus hops on the nose with a little grass and spice. Tastes of citrus, pale malt, honey and a little fruity tones. Medium bodied leading to a bittery dry finish. Fairly refreshing.

Bottle at the Half Moon, Windlesham - 03/09/12. Pale golden with a thinnish white head that retained pretty well resulting in lots of lacing. Pale malt nose backed up by grain, wheat, grass and some spice. Taste matches the nose, hops come into play which to me tasted of the noble variety. Medium bodied with fairly lively carbonation, perhaps a touch too much, leading to a dry finish.

Half pint @ the Half Moon, Windlesham. Pours a hazy amber with minimal head, just a few bubbles atop. Getting malt and a little smoke in the flavours allied to a modicum of yeast and biscuit. Minimal carbonation - a little flat if anything and a very subtle bitterness in the finish. Not one to re-visit !

Half pint from cask. Pours amber with a tiny white head. Light aroma of fruit, hops and citrus. Same aspects in flavour with a little toffee, moderate bitterness and light sweetness. Light to medium bodied with very soft carbonation. (offline rating from April 2012)

Cask, handpump at The Hop Pole, Aylesbury, Bucks, 21.11.11 Only got to try a small amount of this but have to confess being very impressed. Looked great, good clarity, very nice looking. Decent amount of fresh ginger coming through served at a good temp’, clean, with nice clean taste but ginger adding a slight warmth. One of the better ginger beers out there. A6 A5 T7 P3 Ov13 3.4
