440ml can as part of a delivery from Beautiful Beers and drunk at home. Dark gold and clear with a large, rocky beige head. Grainy aroma, light citrus, metallic notes. Tastes pretty bitter with a tongue-coating load of bittering hops. Not a lot of flavour or personality though. Long bitter finish with heavy carbonation on the body. Not their best beer. Dorking do good traditional stuff but this is a bit average.

[44cl can from Lavershot Barns, Windlesham.] An unattractive hazy amber colour with a billowing cream head after a gushing pour; citrus aroma; fruity malt taste with a woody bitterness; and some pine resin and more malt to finish.

Bottle bought at RHS Wisley shop. Aroma is dry apple peel. Clear gold. Bubbly translucent white head soon almost entirely disappears. Sweet but not overly so. Juicy. Restrained by a touch of acidity and dryness. Light bodied. Thin. Sticky residue. Long dry finish. Enjoyable easy drinking cider.

Can from Wine Reserve, Cobham. Aroma is smoky, cured. Makes me specially think of smoked herring. Underlying caramel. Dark murky opaque brown. Foamy white head. Come to think of it this is the Dorking beer that's eluded me since I joined RB and it was off at the Spoons in Farnborough when I ordered it. Ooh - the can features photos of olde Germane buildings - presumably Bamberg. Medium-heavy bitter. The balance is not quite right. It's upfront. Acrid and quinine. Smooths out as you grow accustomed to it. Burnt caramel. Almost resinous touch. Medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Whilst I have my reservations about the final product it has slipped down...

Pours a lightly hazed mahogany brown colour with a small frothy beige head. The aroma is light smoke, caramel and malt. A moderately sweet malty taste, caramel and some smoky notes and a light bitterness. A bit watery and doesn't quite deliver.
