October 04 picked up a bottle from the pub attached to the brewery. Dark brown quite malty in both aroma and flavour little bit on the dry side. Not bad but nothing special.

Cask gravity at Battersea Beer Festival 2006. Hoppy and deep citrus aroma, some grapefruit. Hop, dry finish is quite pleasant. quite tasty peppery/herby hop and good juicy malt. Didn’t think that it was as strong as 5.1%, but definitely drinkable.

500ml bottle from Cask and Glass, Tonbridge. Hazy gold with disappearing white head. Nice citric hop aroma. Bit odd in mouth. Like the other Cropton beer I had in bottle the flavours are a bit all over the place. Cascades just don’t seem integrated to the malt. Too overpowering on the hop. Bitter lemon finish. Not too good

An orange beer with a nice light orange head. The aroma is light - what is there is grassy hoppy, while the flavor is slightly acidic from the hops, and with a dry end. The notes in the aroma promises much more than the flavor gives.

An orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is lovely sweet with notes of hops and fruits. The flavor is sweet with a good hop presence, but also notes of caramel and hints of citrus from the hops, leading to a dry end.

Beautiful amber color. Very nice aroma, malty and fruity, with some hops. Reasonable body structure, malty. Quite hoppy (good English hops) but a touch of sourness, probably a light infection.

(Bottle 50 cl) Unclear - unclean - with floating, yeasty impurities and a gigantic head that simply continues to float out of the bottle for several minutes. Lovely fruity nose. Rather light body, somewhat flat. Weak notes of nuts and plenty of fruit. Vague citrusy tartness and a short bitterness. Absolutely drinkable. 231205

[At GBBF 2005] An orange beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with notes of alcohol, malt, and caramel - I’m very surprised at the alcohol notes at such a low ABV beer. The flavor is sweet malty again with notes of caramel and hints of alchol, but also a good presence of aroma hops.
