500ml bottle at Stu’s. Pours clear gold, little to no white head. Strong ginger aroma, which doesn’t really deliver on the taste. Light sweet finish. OK.

50cl bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - treacle black/brown with orange/red chinks. The head fades quickly. Nose - treacle with tobacco/liquorice notes and a dried dark fruit thing, probably prunes. Taste - more dried prunes and some earthiness. Palate - light bodied with a thin texture and the finish is a little sweeter than I’d hoped for. Overall - another one that started well but then fell off a cliff.

500ml bottle at home. Pours deep dark brown, thin beige head, doesn’t last. Aromas of prune, light vanilla. Taste is synthetic vanilla, too much. Light body, bit thin in fact. Too sweet for me.

0.5l bottle. This is a light blurry golden looking one with lots and lots of small unfiltered particles floating around and a small kinda bubbly white little top. It has a super citrus infused almost lemony nose. Fresh and almost grassy with a really high amount of citrus. Can't remember the last 'light' beer I've had that has this amount of citrus on the nose. Like it! It has a really nice taste as well. In the mouth it's kinda light as expected but not directly watery or thin. The bubbles are about where they should be. Zesty hops, some grassy sharpness and a gentle malty sweetness in the back. A light lemon hint in the soft and bitter aftertaste. This is quite good, sessional and definitely moreish. 26.12.2013
