(Cask at Southampton Arms, Gospel Oak, London, 27 Nov 2014) Hazy golden colour with brief, white head. Fruity, nose with notes of orange, bread, whet-flour dough and a touch of coriander. Fruity taste with citrus, orange, bread and soapy wheat. Medium body, with a certain sweetness, low bitterness. Refreshing but hardly exciting. Quite enjoyable though.

Bottle as Alias Lindisfarne Holy Island Bitter, picked up by Isobel (thanks Isobel) from Holy Island (I believe) consumed at home Thursday 11th December 2014. Sadly this was a shocker, insipid, thin, watery beer. A touch of caramel, lacking in bitterness, in fact it is simply a case if where is the bloody flavour. Stick on a touristy Holy Island Bitter label and flog it for ยฃ2.90 (or whatever the scandalous price was) robbing gits, shameful! Btw are we sure this is still an alias, my rating seems quite out of kilter for what otherwise looks a pretty decent beer by Allendale and I wouldnโt wish to knock what appears to be a good beer.

Bottle shared at Christโs post GBBF minidig 16/08/2014. Translucent hazed yellow/ orange coloured pour with a thin white head. Aroma is toffee, caramel, some sweet honey and a little berry hop. Flavour is composed of cardboard, stale malts, honey and caramel. Palate is caramel sweet, moderate carbonation. A bit too much age.
