Bottled (from Utobeer, London). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is alcohol, fruits, spices and some slight grassyness. Flavour is quite much the same with grass changed to herbal/mildly spicy notes. Pleasant to drink.

Bottle, 33cl. It pours a cloudy, rather pale golden body with a huge, foamy white head with quite short retention. The aroma is weaker than could be wished for, with fruit, some spice and hops, and pale malt. Effervescent in the mouth, quite thin, with flavors of fruit, spice and pale malt. Quite bitter. The finish is fruity and bitter, and I miss a bit sweetness in this beer. Citrusy as well in the finish. Sure a drinkable beer, but I don’t think it nails the style, and it is a bit boring. (080426)
