Signature yeasty aroma with honey, sherbety fruit, sulphur, musty Goldings, pencilly conifer. Some citrussy hop, Fairy Liquid lemony soap and almond in the mouth. Smells promisingly yeasty, but ends up dominated by nasty lingering bitterness and nuthusky/shampoo afters. Really average pasteurised bitter. Amber with slender white lid.

Amber colour with a small off white head. Smelt fruity with a faint smell of hops. Tasted of apricots and hops with a slightly bitter aftertaste.

Light honey orange with a medium head. Soft but pleasant citric bitter aroma. Straight-forward refreshing flavour, decent balance between a mild caramel malt a gentle bitterness that lingers quite nicely. Quite light bodied. A very respectable beer.

Initially, this was quite promising, looks good, and the aroma is ok, good and hoppy. However, the palate and lack of flavour really let this down. The first mouthful was fine but within seconds the hop & malt flavours had disappeared leaving nothing, no finish...nothing! A shame, as this started off well, but at the end of the day.....

A boring bottled bitter, nothing really to recommend. A little dusty hop and sweetish caremelised malt flavours. Metallic carbonation.
