Shared bottle in Durban 16.03.15, with OEN and RS. Slightly hazy pale yellow. White head and lacing. Superb aroma of English golding or tergrt hops and fresh grass. Very fine taste as well, with fresh grass, flowerfields and tropical fruits.

Cask at the Pump House, Solihull. Poured a crystal clear medium amber with a thin white head and a few bubbles. The aroma is light malt hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with smooth light malt, light floral hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Became a little sickly after a while. Would not want to be drinking a pint of this.

Almost clear golden color with a fine white head. Malty, a bit citric and some weird notes in the aroma. Medium body. Moderate sweet and an ok bitterness. Malty, mild citric, herbal and some chemical notes. Not very good this one.

Clear golden coloured body with literally zillions of small bubbles rising from the bottom in a super fast fashion wiht a soapy, large five centimetre tall white head. Aroma of pale malt, lemons, wheat, coriander seed and some stale sugars. Light-bodied; Lemony flavour with a very sour/tart note from yeast and a little malt flavour also noticeable - but this is very light and fragrant. Aftertaste shows a touch of some stale malt, a bit of a sweet touch and a definite lemon and very fresh/refreshing beer throughout. Overall, a decent beer with a very light feeling and worth some space in your suitcase to bring back home! I sampled this South African style stubby bigger bottle, 55 cL bottle, purchased from Harley’s Liqour and Wine Specialist in Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa on 31-December-2011 for ZAR22,90 sampled at home the day my first child’s passport arrived in order to travel back to South Africa, here in Washington on the opposite side of the world, on 06-July-2013.
