Amber with a big head that reduced rather quickly. Fruity and yeasty aromas with some toffee. Sweet caramel initially, still quite bitter, even harshly so, ending rather dry. Grapefruit and yeasty flavours. Medium body, well carbonated.

Aug 13, 2008 Sample at TFOB ’08 from the bottle. Medium orange, small white head. Decent aroma - sweet, citrus. Taste is sweet as well, but light enough to be refreshing. More hops than I was expecting. Good stuff.

Aug 12, 2008 <i>Bottle (500ml) shared with HogTownHarry at Volo.</i> Pours a clear golden-orange with an average size diminishing frothy white head. Aroma’s sweet,a touch sugary, along with light floral hops, some fruit and a hint of vegetal notes. Flavour, also sweet, of caramel malt, grain, a bit of honey and a light bitter finish. Average bodied. Nothing great but it’s alright.

Aug 12, 2008 <b>Bottle (500ml)</b>. <i>Shared with blankboy at Volo</i>. Clear amber pour with a large fluffy sticky white head. Floral clover aroma, slightly dusty and spicy - the taste seems quite honey-like, very sweet, with floral bitterness in the finish not quite catching up to the caramel. Average body, slightly rosehip astringency, with a quick sweet finish. Refreshing, if too sweet, and fairly unmemorable.
