bottle, bought at Thresher’s Sidmouth. Hazy dark golden yellow, large beige head. Fruity-hoppy nose. Light-bodied, pleasantly bitter with nice aromatic hops and a shy fruity touch.

Cask Handpump at the Great Western Hotel, Exeter 01/02/2003 Golden amber coloured a little sweet on the palate and malty with a lasting finish.

Bouteille (merci, Quack-Duck!): Orangey to amber coloured, hazy, floaties visible; stable creamy and lacy off-white head; moderate to solid bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied; lingering hoppy-bitter and malty finish. A good session beer........

(bottle, courtesy of Quack-Duck) Cloudy, murky amber colour with a light-beige slowly lacing foamy head. Spicy, nettle-like hoppy with a tinge of citrus and sweat. Light-bitter flavour, slim bodied but not watery mouthfeel. Fruity, malt-accented taste with light toasted notes; dry and bitter, slightly flowery finish. 18.XI.08
