500ml bottle from Waitrose. Copper colour with thin white head. Slightly sulphur and spicey hop aromas. OK in mouth with more spicey hop on the end. Almost like ginger. Fine , just a little bit dead and metalllic

Bottle from Sainsburys. Copper/orange colour, faint white head. Lots of green apple and hop and yeast. OK in mouth with apple/yeast/hop finish. Dusty with a touch of caramel. Not a big fan

(Bottle 50 cl) Very dark amber, very hazy with almost no head. Nutty, lightly sweetish aroma. Rather dry with notes of nuts and caramel - weak yeasty flavour. A quite exciting brew. 030905

Light clear brown color, short off-white head. Aroma of english hop, some caramel malt. Taste is little sweet and caramel malty, quite bitter. Bitter and dry palate.

Bottled. Pale amber, small head. Aroma of caramel, apple and some hay. Raw and unrefined, typical Wychwood style malt character. Forgettable.

Amber beer with a nice lively, but small head. Good aroma of malt, apples and grass. Initially round flavour with a strong bitterness in the aftertaste, thanks to the good hops.

(500 ml bottle, bought in Denmark). Amber colour, moderate head. Lovely hoppy aroma, hints of heather, tobacco and spices. Flavour is nutty and biscuity, a hint of toffee but not really sweet, good bitterness which lingers in the aftertaste. Very nice.
