Bottle: Hazy, reddish amber pour with a medium beige head. Nose of bitters and malt. Flavor is earthy with malts and roastiness, nice bitters presence. A little caramel and toffee. Nice representation of the style.

(Bottle) Pale amber colour, cloudy, with frothy off-white head. Fruity nose with notes of apricots, orange and citrussy hops. Slightly perfumy. Fruity taste with orange peel, apricots and citrussy hops in a rather short finish. Slight wheatish hints towards the finish. A decent summer ale, but hardly exciting.

[i] Bottle from Waitrose, Thame, Oxon 13-12-07 [/i] Poured dark brown with lively almost beige coloured head. Some sweet malt and dark fruit on the nose, but the taste is dominated by a burnt toffee and fruity combination, not bad but a bit ’in yer face’. Still I quite enjoyed it.

Pours bright amber into an English pint. Head quickly subsides with no lacing to skim surface. Caramel aromas. Sweet cookie dough from front to back with a lasting bitter hop finish.

[i] Bottle from Sainsbury’s Kidlington 13-11-07 [/i] Poured golden in colour with white head. Some fruit, hops and a bit of malt on the nose but I didn’t get much elderflower. Tasted fine, bit florally but again not really noticing the elderflower, some bitterness and a bit of crisp lemon there.

500ml bottle from Waitrose. Gold with a large loose off-white head; caramel aroma; malty with some fruit but little bitterness; leaving a sticky unappealling finish. There are much better organic ales than this.
