330ml bottle from the brewery shop. Gold with a billowing white head that subsided very quickly; aroma of grassy hops and yeast; dry and full flavoured, with a fruity and caramel body; clean finish with a touch of spice. A very pleasant departure for Rebellion.

Cask-conditioned at The Hobgoblin, Reading 29/5/08. Reddish-chestnut in colour with no head. Vague aromas of red fruit and cocoa. Very watery mouth feel with malty flavours of chocolate and a short, bitter finish. A strong contender for the least impressive mild sampled in May 2008.

[i] [b] Bottle Waitrose, Thame, Oxon, consumed 29-05-08 [/i] [/b] Pours reddy/brown with off white head, in fact it looks very decent. Theres a good fruity aroma malts in there as well I note. Taste is guess what? Fruity, malty some bitterness, lacking a certain something, like an identity of its own maybe, because I seem to have had this beer many times before brewed by different breweries? Once again another ok Rebellion beer.

[i] [b] Bottle Waitrose, Thame, Oxon, consumed 29-05-08 [/i] [/b] Golden with some cloudiness, aroma is a little spicy. Tastes of wheat with a dash of spices, its ok but not a great example of a wheat beer.

[i] [b] Cask, gravity at Merton Beer Festival 04, retrospectively added from notes taken at the time. [/i] [/b] Pours amber in colour, barely any head to speak of. Nice maltiness to this beer though also quite crisp and a little dryness at the end, quite run of the mill but not bad.

[First rate - 10/5/2008, on cask at The Stag, Flackwell Heath, Bucks. RB6/3/6/3/12] Nothing like an IPA - this is a best bitter, but not a bad one. Strong maltiness dominates, with more than a hint of red fruits in there. The usual Goldings musty straw flavour comes through in the aftertaste. Vibrant flavours considering the low ABV. [Second rate - 15/6/2018, on cask at Wycombe Swan. RB6/3/7/3/13] Amber with a white head. Toffee and red fruits with a mild earthy bitterness. Good malt base. Tastier than I remember. Enjoyable. Rating is the average of all rates.

(Cask at Wenlock Arms, London, 23 April 2008) Dark brown colour with ruby notes, frothy beige head. Malty, slightly roasted nose with dried fruit, raisins and cold coffee. Roasted, malty taste with notes of chocolate, dried fruit and hints of tobacco in the finish. Fairly thin body, dry. A decent mild.
