maeib (4418), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England Jun 28, 2009 Bottled A copper coloured beer with no head. A sweet and a bit sickly aroma; very obvious pasteurisation with paper and glass noted. The taste has some bittersweet character but is chemically harsh. I like Adnams and bought this bottle in Southwold which is such a cool place ,but I have to say this is very disappointing. Will retry the cask version this week
Blom (391), Odense, Denmark Jun 19, 2009 Unclear orange with a low head and almost no carbonation. Some herbs and berries with a dry feeling. Very clean and refreshing.

Elkas (35), Cambridge, Ontario, Canada Apr 28, 2009 Light amber colour and soflty carbonated. A bit dry in the finish. Nice beer. Rodders (105), , Norfolk, England Mar 23, 2009 (Bottle from Co-op, Long Stratton) Poured a brown clear colour with a big solid head that lasted the whole drink. Sweet malt smell with a bit of hoppy citrus and lots of caramel. Quite a lot of hop nose for a bitter. Good bitter hop taste which evolves into a dry finish. Hint of biscuity sweetness and a little bit of bready malt. Hoppy for a bitter, but it works very well. Just enough carbonation to keep it lively too. Good solid bitter. Nordcore (194), North of, Norway Mar 8, 2009 50 Cl Can. Apperance; Dark Amber, clear with almost no head. A small amount of caramel and malt. not to much taste, light bitter end. GranvilleTim (289), Granville, Illinois, USA Mar 4, 2009 16.9 oz. Light brown pour with a darker white thin head. I noticed that this was an older bottle when I got home. Best before 21 Nov 07. It had a slight sweet aroma and had little carbonation. I thought it was a good tasting beer. It had a dry bitter aftertaste to it. I would buy this again.
