12oz bottle. Pale golden yellow color, lots of active C02 bubbles rising to meet the foamy off-white head. Classic noble hop and sweet malt aroma. Rather light bodied, a little doughy with a slightly rough dirty edge to it. Not very impressive, potentially much better fresh of course, this bottles age is suspect. Dry and sweet finish. Pretty shabby overall.

Clear amber with a large beige head. Aroma had had roasted malt, grains and caramel notes. Flavour had roasted malt and quite a few grassy hops. Finished bitter and dry.

Bottle. Dark Golden with an amber touch. Tall, fine head. Very malty aroma with hops and cereals. Flavor is fruity, sweetish, malty. Biscuits, low hopping, with a malty, bready, finish. Interesting, and ok overall, with good malt but it is heavy feeling and not very well balanced. Needs more hops.
