Bottled ("borned 12/2007)
Golden color, not much head. Fresh bottle, but aroma is rotten vegetables. Sweetish malty with ashy and grassy hops. Almost sugary flavor. This bottled products are all really bad, hopefully on draught they are better.

On tap at brewery. Dissipating head, with somewhat sweet flavour that finishes dry. Toffee colour. A good beer on tap, and one of the better Birkenhead offerings

Tasted on draught from the brewery. Golden amber colour with a fine head. Aroma of tea leaves, nuts and honey. Fruity palate with apple and caramel after taste.

Bottle. a clear golden colour with a mdium high head. An aroma of malt and fruit. The taste is medium sweet with a dry bitter finish. A light body and an avarage carbonation. Need some improvements but still ok now.

Bottled (Thanks to oh6gdx for this one). Clear golden in color. Medium white head, lacings. The aroma is watery andmalty. Theflavor is sweet and somewhat malty. There is a dry aftertaste.

Again, also a good time when you get a new beer from a local brewery! .. Pours a basic gold, light sturn lacing .. . light honey mostly .. very smooth . . man, on tap please!! .. . I’ll give your leg a compound fraction!

courtesy of Per Forsgren - clear golden-bronze colour with little foam left; shy herbs and paperboard in the nose; low carbonation and quite sweet, medium-bodied, unclean palate; the finish is sweetish and dusty - poor stuff of very bad quality

Bottled (thanks omhper!). Pale golden colour, small white creamy head. Aroma is hay, rubber and earth. Flavour is egg, hay, rubber and some very dull stuff. Not pleasant at all.

Really enjoy the light and crisp style. Nice and refreshing on a hot day, just wish alcohol % was a little highter.

Draught at the brewery. Clear pale golden, creamy head. Grassy nose with some perfumy hops. Medium dry and fairly light bodied. Notes of menthe and hay. Fresh and rather crisp. Medium bitterness.
