Sample from 500 ml bottle, Shepherd Neame Whitstable Bay Organic Ale, ABV 4.5%. Courtesy of Cardinal, Stavanger. Beautiful deep amber colour, low head (the bottle had been open a while, though). Malty aroma with toffee and caramel notes. Mouthfeel has a bit too much carbonation for my taste. Flavour has fairly bitter hops throughout, which dominate whatever maltiness there might be. Fairly dry and "dusty" finish.

(Cask at Shipwright Arms, Borough, London 20 Apr 2006) Amber colour with almost no head. Nose is malty and fruity with hints of apricots and a slightly metallic hoppiness. Taste is malty with a somewhat neutral fruitiness (hints of citrus) and a drier metallic finish. A reliable, but rather unexciting, bitter.

500ml bottle. Advertised as bottle conditions and throws a very slightsediment in the bottle. Copper colour beer with thin white head. Complex dried fruit aromas. Bit of rubber and good hop. Mouthfeel has a bit too much carbonation and some toffee and herby hop flavours. Herby hop and tingly sensation on end. Good strong bitter and wears its 6.5% abv well.
