Cask-conditioned at the Portcullis, Clifton, Bristol 12/08/10. Clear gold in colour with a decent white head. Aroma of grassy hops and hay, with a touch of sweetness. Flavour had some fruit upfront, before a big bitter finish with a long after taste. Good.

This is not Arbor Aurora Arborealis of Michigan, USA. On gravity at the Hillgrove Porter Stores, Bristol 7/08/10. Deep gold in colour with a slight, off-white head. Aroma of citrus hop, with a touch of apricot fruit and hay. Flavour was sweetish and fruity, with more citrus and a dryish finish. Good.

Cask-conditioned at the Watershed, Bristol 18/07/10. Deep gold in colour with a frothy white head. Aroma of Pineapples, gooseberry and grapefruit, with a touch of sweet malt. Flavour had more tropical fruit, some biscuity malts and a mouth puckering, dry finish with some pine resin. There’s some truth in what the visitor from Birmingham said, but Arbor buck the local trend. Very enjoyable.
