Cask Stillage from the Jug at the Smithfield Hotel, Manchester 21/01/2009 Some floral aroma. Golden coloured and a little hazy in appearance. Hoppy with a slightly sweet honey flavour. A hint of bitterness in a crisp and wheaty malt finish.

Bottle. Aroma is sweet, floral with a rich honey note. Deep golden in color with a moderate foamy off-white head that leaves spotty lacing. Very sweet upfront, but non cloying and floral in character. Not a very deep flavor as it fades quickly in to a tart lingering bitterness. Medium bodied with a nice full carbonation.

Hazy blonde pint, taste is very distinct thick-set heather honey, giving a very sweet pint with a hint of hops, grass and malt. The sweetness is strong, but that’s not unusual for a honey beer, enjoyable in small quantities but I couldn’t drink a lot of this.

Cask at Smithfield Hotel, Manchester. A hazy light golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of heather honey. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of honey, leading to a dry and slightly bitter finish. The body is very light.

330ml bottle bought at Cornelius in Edinburgh and shared with Finn at a drinking session in Tromsø. Huge, soapy head over a slightly hazy, golden body. Rich dry smell of malt and honey sweetness. Honey with hints of citric fruits in a taste profile that was less prominent than the aroma. Dry and refreshing in the mouth. Medium bodied [22.11.2008].
