Bottle. Hazy gold with a small head. Aromas are sweet caramel malts with dry and floral notes. Flavours are caramel and biscuit malts with mellow lemon in the form of marmalade. "US style" hopping. Soft but tasty. Dry on the finish. Decent.

MustangMarkF (121) - Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - JUL 16, 2012
500ml Bottle. Aroma is very faint and Im getting malted milk biscuits - or shreddies. Appearance is a red tinted gold with a weak head that disappears almost as fast as it appears. The taste is heavily influenced by the smell: it is almost pure biscuit that disipates into a slightly molassis bitterness. The bottle says citrus finish - the only way this beer will ever have a citrus finish would be if a lemon crossed the line holding it during the fruitilympics!

worldbeertaste (1121) - Lancashire, ENGLAND - MAY 7, 2012
Medium gold with a frothy lasting off-white head. Smells of caramel malt with light citrus hops.Some flowery elements. Medium oily body. Sweet taste of caramel with a limited bitter finish. Some citrus grass in the aftertaste. Very average and nothing much to talk about.

wheresthepath (1285) - Buckinghamshire, ENGLAND - JUL 16, 2011
[500ml bottle from Maureen & Dave - cheers!] Dirty dark gold with a large foaming white head and slight to moderate carbonation. Decent rich mouthfeel. Peaches up front, straw throughout, and some lemon in the finish. On the dry side, but little bitterness. A decent bitter that exceeded my expectations.

EdKing (1302) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JUL 9, 2011
Pours golden amber. Big white head gives way to thin head after a minute. Nose is honeycomb toffee, bit of dry grass. Taste is sweet biscuity malt, bit of caramel and then dry straw like hops. Finish is dryish and little hop bitterness.

maeib (7542) - Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, ENGLAND - MAR 2, 2011
Bottled. Golden as expected with a whitish head. A bit of straw and cardboard amongst the orangey hops in the nose. Decent citrus amd grassy in the mouth amongst a bit of rubber. Would be far better filtered than pasteurised as this no doubt started off a fairly decent beer.
