Bottled. Very dark ruby, small beige gead. Light dusty fig aroma. Fairly sweet with clean, bold malt character and medium body. Dry dust covers the malt, hops stay in the background. Somewhat raw in the mouth. Medium bitterness.

500ml bottle conditioned, picked up at Utobeer and sampled with Finn. With cascade hops this is a beer with the emphasis on hoppy aroma and flavour. Fresh floral to the nose and rich succulence of fruit in taste. High hoppy esters. Hazy organge in colour without any head. The beer has a citric finish (26.09.2006).

Cask gravity at The Swan at Wittersham. Clear gold, no head. Grassy hop, sauvignon blanc gooseberry aroma. Bit of yeast. Slightly tired in mouth, lovely gooseberry hop finish. Would have been stunning when fresh (as Ray the landlord said)

[Bottled] Clear golden, small head. Aroma of lychee and lemon. Sweetish with rounded mouthfeel and medium body There’s plenty of citric hops, but no overwhelmingly bitter finish. American style, but you certainly taste it’s English.

Bottled. "A bottle conditioned lager" with CAMRA’s logo "this is REAL ALE" ... hmm, interesting. Slightly hazy golden - orange color, cloudy white head. Buttery, woody, hoppy nose. Despite the name - it tastes bitter. Starts watery, then the burst of lime comes in. Citric hoppy aftertaste.
