500ml bottle from Sainsbury’s. Pours clear pale yellow with good head and high carbonation. Grassy, lemon, hay, and lime aromas. More citrus on the taste, touch of soap. Easy drinking and good.

500ml bottle from Sainsbury’s - Cloudy orange body, fluffy white head. Nose of citrus, lemons particularly and some grassy notes. Taste is crisp, seems very familiar, long bitter finish. Very similar to Denbury Dreamer - is it the same? I quite like it nonetheless.

An interesting beer in appearance and taste. Cloudy orange with a light sweet aroma. Taste is an orangey citrus hit but a surprisingly watery finish. It?s a shame because they?ve aimed to make a really interesting beer and just fallen short.

50cl bottle from the Sainsbury’s Beer Hunt 2013 range. Earthy aroma and flavour. Amber colour with a haze, thin almost no, off white head. Vegetal and earth aroma. To be honest not a great beer. Unrefined and the bottle conditioning isn’t great. In fact this may end up being a drain pour. Some hop sting on the finish. Earthy and boiled vegetables on aroma is not good. Nope this is going to have to go.

50cl bottle from the Sainsbury’s Beer Hunt 2013 range. Bottle conditioned, so a rather cloudy orange pour with a billowing cream head; light floral aroma - no sign of any Citra; soft and creamy in the mouth, but rather watery; some fruity malt flavour, but rahter muddy; and lacking finish.

Bottle from Budleigh Wines. Hazy deep golden-brown, creamy Off-white head. Malty with fruity hints, Apple of course, Goldings Hops finish. The Iist of ingredients doesnt contain apples, but a touch of apples is definitely present.

Cask at GBBF 2012 - London. Pours clear brown with a fine, white cream head. Light toasty malt nose, some burnt leaves. Light to medium sweet flavor with toasty malt character, dirty-leafy bitterness. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Faint dryness to finish, moderate leafy and earthy bitterness, toasty malts. Basic but nice.

Hand-pulled half-pint during the 34rd Telford Beer Festival (Crown Inn Oakengates) on 4 May 2013. Amber, dry and hoppy with a malt fruity hint throughout. Looked good in the glass, poured in fine condition and tasty. Pleasant mixed bag of aromas and character, nice blend of flavours, a well made beer: I like this breweries products.

[500ml bottle that my Dad shared with me - cheers!] Pours a murky deep amber-red with no head. Rather sweet aroma. On tasting the honey is balanced by lemon hops and a good earthy bitterness in the finish. It’s still a bit weird though - I’ve never been convinced by honey beers.
