Bottle, picked up from the Vale Brewery, 25-10-08, consumed 26-10-08 Pours golden with white head. Fairly predictable that this was going to be fruity, bit citrusy, tangy, hoppy and bitter, no problem with that at all, its just that it was like so many others of this ilk, distinctly average and afraid to be different.

Bottle from Utobeer. Essence of a summer’s day on the label, drunk on the first day of winter. Hazy gold, thin lasting white head. Bit of butter/toffee on aroma. After that it’s a pretty good, nice sharp hop bitter. Some earthiness, quite a poorish BCA beer though, yeah, definite diacetyl. Then earthy pale ale and then decent hop.
