500ml bottle - Pours a light golden hue with a rather small head. No retention or lace. Aromas of orange, mild ginger, and other spices. Taste is citrus, mild zest with notes of ginger. Light caramel, and hints of bread. Light in body, sort of watery to be honest. Not bad, and quite refreshing.

A slightly clouded golden-blonde ale with plenty of continental wheat beer character about it. Has a good aroma and taste in this respect and leaves a suitably fizzy feeling in the palate.

500ml bottle - Bottle, a cloudy light golden with a foamy thin white head. A strong hop aroma of melon and some citrus. A little carbonated in the mouth as well as a little tart. Some buttery notes as well, but predominately fruity hop flavours and grainy malt. Quite a refreshing one for a summer night.

Bottle at JF’s, thanks to my wingman DW for gifting this one, 09/06/13. Lightly hazed orange amber with a decent off white head. Nose is summer fruits, bitter orange, caramel, sugars, malt, light piss. Taste comprises earthy hops, grass, orange pith, malts, light tropical notes. Medium bodied with a little oomph, fine carbonation, bitterness in the finish. Ok stuff - not an IPA in the US sense that RB would expect, more a strong golden blonde if such a style existed.

Bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus, Thompson and Bobson. Dark brown color with a dark red glare coming through when held into the light. Small to medium sized beige head. Smell and taste malts, lightly roasty, lightly bitter. Low to medium body and carbonation.

Cask at Fat Cat, Sheffield. It pours near black with medium light tan head. The nose is roasted malt, salted liquorice, treacle and earth. The taste is roasted malt, liquorice, spice, light bitterness, cocoa and faint tang with a dry, earthy finish. Light-medium and soft carbonation. The body is a bit light for my liking. Ok, but nothing special.
