Bottled at The London/Joet Gathering Chez Chris_O. A golden coloured beer with not much going on in the aroma. The taste was nice and hoppy with some red fruit flavours coming through - possibly strawberry and blackberry. Very drinkable.

Cask, The Salmon, Leicester. Golden with a firm foam. Aromas are honey and caramel with lemon. Creamy with soft bready yeast and trace banana. Flavours are cereal and biscuit with mellow lemon. The alcohol is quite harsh considering it’s percentage. Honey with a dry, woody finish. OK.

berkshirejohn (3014) - Bracknell, Berkshire, ENGLAND - FEB 26, 2011
50cl bottle from the Home Brew Shop, Aldershot. A beautiful pale gold colour with the faintest white head; the aroma has honey, light grains and a whiff of yeast; the flavour is annoyingly ordinary with some citrus and honey; and a biscuity finish with some light floral hops adding a little bitterness. Pleasant enough, but disappointingly not matching up to my initial expectations.
