Cask at the Three Guineas, Reading A bright golden brown with a thin white head, fresh grassy aroma. Not a complicated pint, the taste is overwhelmingly of a hoppy bitterness which lingers pleasantly.

Cask at The Jolly Angler, Reading. A hazy yellow-gold colour with a white head; aroma of hops and honey; taste is initially citric, followed by a powerful blast of hops and then some honey, and then eventually a slight pepperyness. A complex pint. (Rated: 6/3/6/3/14)
Bottle ABV 4.8% from Threshers, Wokingham. Amber with a thin white head; good lacing; fresh citrus and honey aroma; again a citric taste with a good blast of hop followed by honey and a warming finish, perhaps due to the higher ABV? (Rated: 6/3/6/4/15)

(Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Dark brown, almost mahogany, colour, foamy off-white head. Fruity nose with dark fruit, orange, apricots and a fresh earthy hop aroma. Fruity, nutty taste with caramel, toffee, chocolate and a nice punch of earthy hops in the finish. Very nice hop character.

[As Loddon Ferrymans Gold at 4.8% ABV - no extra on the label] An orange beer with a huge bubbly orange head. The aroma is sweet and very flowery as well as slightly spicy. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of fruit, flowers, and hops. A nice beer.

(Bottle 50 cl) Comes simply as "Loddon Ferryman’s Gold" - no "Extra" but at 4.8% ABV. Pours a clear, fully golden with a somewhat rough, off-white and dissipating head. Aroma of nuts and a touch of citrus. Rather extreme carbonation. Medium-bodied with some odd, unclean underlying malty accents. Some citrus - sort of vitamin like - and a whiff of metal. A dry finish. 280906

Cask gravity at Kent BF 2006. Deep copper colour with thin white head. Butterscotch on aroma. Bit of citrus. Malts are ok in mouth, but I think there is some diacetyl in here somewhere.

Cask gravity at Kent BF 2006. Copper colour with disappearing white head. Some toffee malt, some strong green hop on finish. Bit of strawberry/grapefruit aroma. More grapefruit on end. Bit of farty yeast puts me off on the aroma.
