Medium creamy offwhite lasting head with a coarse surface. Amber body. Sweet fruity aroma with floral hop notes, quite rich. Sweet mild earthy stale fruity taste with tea notes. Flat, and a bit off. Dry musty wooden malty aftertaste. Tastes like it’s not entirely right; should rerate. (0.5pt cask at the Prince Edward.)

Small coarse offwhite head. Brownish amber body. Faint tea and wood aroma. Soft sweetish tea and metal taste with wooden notes. Slightly fruity, too. Dryish wooden malty aftertaste with metallic notes. Somewhat watery and chalky. Not bad, but a bit flat and lacking in taste. (0.5pt cask at Prince Edward.)

Quite a fresh citrusy aroma. However it’s very dry and bitter on the palate. A flavour dominated by the hop.

500ml bottle from Tesco. Amber colour with thin white head. Kind of a gingery spicy beer. Actually not too bad at all. I kinda like the spice. I shouldn’t, but I do and I don’t care. 3.5/5.0 Re-rate Sainsbury bottle 20th September 2008. Awful. Yeasty and spice aroma, nothing much in the body, poor finish

Orange/amber colour. Hints of grass and aniseed in the aroma. Flavour is quite floral and soft. Lacking somewhat in terms of depth of flavour.
