A hazy light amber beer with a nice light orange whipped cream-like head. The aroma is sweet hoppy with light yeasty and caramel notes. The flavor is sweet hoppy with light malty notes - a very clean and fresh beer, but with a thin body.

Cask at Hobgoblin Bicester 17-01-06. Only beer on in this Hobgoblin pub which was a tad dissapointing. Found it a little sweet, reasonable clean head, quite bitter and hoppy lingering on. A good pint but nothing earth shattering.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pretty pale amber with a handsome head. Very neutral aroma - I miss some fruityness here. Vague touches of malt and caramel. Somewhat metallic edge. A bit disappointing. 250703

(Bottle 50 cl) Dark amber without much head. Lightly smoked character with a discreet sweetnes and a subdued bitterness. Somewhat nutty notes, very drinkable and pleasant although not with the greatest personality. 090303

(Bottle 50 cl) Fully golden - almost orange - with a small, dense head. Rather light-bodied and somewhat. Completely dominated by bittering hops and not so much more

(Bottle 50 cl) Orangey golden, bordering amber. Small, dense, creamy head. Lovely malty and very dry beer with a vague roasted note. Good, marked bitterness that never overwhelms. Quite well balanced and harmonious session beer. 271002

(Bottle 50 cl) Very dark brown with a reddish hue and a tall and lacing head. Dark, malty notes. Markedly bitter with a discreet underlying sweetness. Has the sort of "ashy" dryness so often found in stouts which the beer closely resembles. Not bad, just not really up my alley. 141002

Cask Conditioned
Clean golden color. The aroma is a bit cheesy. The flavor is not surprising, but at least there is some malt; the hopping is decent, well bitter, butterscotch, lightly aromatic and metallic. Quite pleasant.
