Light aroma of sour candy. The taste is sour caramel malt with a light hops bitterness. The aftertaste is watery with a really bitter hops tone.

Bottle. Malty aroma without toffee or caramel, but with resiny hops, apples, pears and dried fruit. Feels like somewhere between a pilsener and a bitter. Very crisp taste with a weak and short palate, nice, moderate to high bitterness, also nice aftertaste of nuts, resin and grain but it all fades off abruptly, failing to leave a lasting impression. Decent summer beer but ultimately characterless and forgettable.

UPDATED: MAR 4, 2012 Bottle. Golden colour with a white head. Caramel and hoppy aroma. Moderate sweet with a nice hoppy finish.

Bottle, Churchill bar, Brussels. Dorée, col blanc. Arôme a un semblant de douceur rappelant du miel, léger fruité avec une dose d’amertume houblonnée dans la plus pure tradition anglaise. En bouche, bière légère, douce avec une pointe sucrée/mielleuse, profile amer en retrait donnant une pointe fruitée de citronnelle, malt léger cara et pale. Pas mauvais, mais c’est quasi un flash back dans n’importe quel pub anglais pour une bière sans grand intérêt.

Mostly sweet taste, finish is predominantly bitter, but the sweetness follows as well. Aroma is malty of barnyard and butter. Light amber colour with a white head. (Bottle)

Aroma is sweetish with honey, toffee some butter and harsh hops. Flavour has honey, some toffee and goldings. Rather harsh finish and aftertaste with hops. The good thing here is that this is not overloaded with honey.
