RichardGretton (3756) - Leicestershire, ENGLAND - AUG 23, 2011
Bottle. Cloudy amber golden / bronze beer with a relatively lively head. The aroma is fruity and hopped, and the flavour is very dry with a strongly hopped, bitter and yeasty flavour. Overall a nice beer with a long dry finish.

500ml bottle (ChrisO’s post-GBBF2011 Tuesday)
Liquoricey aroma. Dry bitter taste. Earthy and serious, very much a bramling cross bitterness. However, not a particularly exciting bitter, but definitely adequate.

chriso (7063) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JUL 31, 2011
500ml bottle, best before November 2011, from Beers of Europe. Hazy old gold colour with a bit of haze. Thin white head and decent condition. Light, tart aroma. Maybe a slight sour edge. Some tropical fruit in the flavour. Finishes with some sharp lemon notes. Pleasant and tasty.

Had it in a bottle. It would be harsh of me to give this a low grade, its nice beer, plenty of tastes as the reviewer below me has perfectly described. Plenty of flavour, worth a try.

leaparsons (6320) - Leicester, Leicestershire, ENGLAND - JUL 15, 2011
Bottle conditioned. Hazy amber brown with an off-white foam. Aromas are toast and marmalade with weetabix and some raisins. some cookie dough with lemon. Flavours are weetabix malts with bready yeast and slightly tart lemon with some grapefruit bitterness.. Light chocolate with a spicy finish. OK.
