3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Brick orange pour covered by minimal white head. Interesting toffee and floral, toasty nose. Quite grainy and slightly astringent, but the aroma has already enticed us to look further. And we find a gently carbonated medium body, sheltering a simplistic fruitiness of peaches and the likes, but also a bordering smokiness and a pleasant sandy bitter finish. Likeable in the end!

Bottle. Sharp, yeasty nose with strong floral hop notes. Pours a deep amber. Flavour is very hoppy with a puckering, sharp, bitter finish. Lots of hops make this one a winner.

3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cloudy red-ish colour. Quite flat, which puts me off a bit. The fruity taste is nice, but there’s something about the finish that I don’t like.

Bottle@GBBF2007. Amber colour, mediumsized head. Aroma is really bready, hoppy, hayish and wooden. Flavour is fruity hops, some malts and quite wooden. Not very exciting. Quite earthy aftertaste.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
500ml bottle, best before Mar 12, drunk at 2011 Festive tasting on 30 December 2011. Reddish amber colour with a generous pale beige head and decent condition. Fruity malt is prominent in the aroma - berries and a touch of apple. More of the same on the palate. Some sweetness up front but finishes fairly dry. Not a lot of hop character in evidence - just a slight twist of lemon. Decent enough but not particularly imposing.
