Bottle at home, thanks to my mate Bill for this ... Good copper colour... light fruit nose ... Decent enough main beer , little balanced fruit malt but its too drying bitter in linger for me... decent enough session ale.

Cask at the Claude Du Vall (JDW), Camberley. Golden colour, but flat and lifeless with just a ring of whiet head; fruity aroma; very sweet with orange and apricot flavours, a slight bitterness then develops but doesn’t stay for long. Disappointing for Hop Back.

Bottle from Waitrose. Amber with a moderate, off-white head. Aroma of fruity malt with a few earthy hops. The flavour was of red fruit and a hint of toffee, with a decent dry finish. Enjoyable.

Cask@GBBF2007. Deep golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is nectar, very wooden and has some slight honeyishness in it also. Flavour is honey, fruits, hops, earth and quite much wood. Really wellbalanced and pleasant brew with dry bitter hoppy finish.
