jbrus (4095), Delft, Netherlands Jan 24, 2007 Bottled. Very fruity and light floral aroma, apple, apricot. Orange color, light hazy, off-white small head, fair lace. Sweet, hint of sourness, light but increasing bitterness. Fruity (apple and apricot) flavor with floral/herbal hops. Malty and toffee yet dry finish. harrisoni (5109), Ashford, Kent, England Jan 13, 2007 500ml bottle BBE July 07 from Cask & Glass, Tonbridge. Amber crystal clear with thin off white head. Toffee malt and earthy hop aroma. It is a little uncultured for a bitter, but it has some good flavours, the toffee is quite strong. It’s fine. I normally like Arundel beers, but this one is just about average. Ethereal (869), London, Greater London, England Dec 2, 2006 500ml bottle from Middle Farm near Lewes, Sussex. Label is different from picture - red lettering on a cream background with gold edging. Very little aroma and pours dark amber with zero head. Flavour is a decent balance of malt and hops, but overall this is simply not a memorable example of a Sussex ale. duff (5404), Sydney, Australia, Surrey, England May 17, 2006 Cask@Ealing Beer On Broadway. A sweetish bitter. Balannced well between hop and malt, none of the ingredients stick out, but you know that they are there, a drinkable bitter. Joeh (1892), Buckinghamshire, England May 12, 2006 Cask Conditioned at Ealing Beer on Broadway Festival 2006. Copper coloured. Hoppy aroma. Sweet malt with hop balance and some berries. On the good side of average.
