(bottle, with thanks to Quack-Duck) Cloudy, murky golden coloured hue with floaties and a light-beige massive foamy head. Spicy and slightly flowery hoppy nose with notes of citrus and a moderate malty sweetness in the background. Moderately bitter flavour, light bodied with a crispy mouthfeel. Fruity malty base with notes of citrus and red berries; dry and moderately bitter finish with a flowery hoppy tail. Nice one. 18.XI.08

Bottle - big thanks to quack-Duck! Hazy - with floaties - orangey coloured, thick and stable creamy head. Hoppy-yeasty nose with a ubtle nutty touch. Solid, dryish bitter-sweet flavour, quite light bodied, soft MF. Lingering hoppy-nutty finish. Light, but quite an aromatic stuff, pleasant........

Cask gravity at St Albans BF 2007. I expected a dark beer, but this wasn’t. Copper, thin disappearing head. Peachy aroma. Peachy in mouth, slightly sweet, but some hop on end. Nice fruity strong bitter, alcohol gives it a certain sweetness.
