Jan 16, 2009 Appearance: Pours a clear, orangey-amber body (like a cup of tea) with a small, bubbly, white head.
Smell: Toasty malts strike the nostrils with a hint or three or caramel candy. Notes of bitter orange peel, stone fruit, and fresh cedar planks (which rounds out in the herbal character of the taste).
Taste: Toasted, biscuity maltiness with a fair amount of sugary caramel sweetness. Fairly fruity, too, tasting of apricots with just a touch of orangey citrus. Spicy, particularly herbal hops (again, like a cup of tea) with a restrained bitterness. The sweet toasty malts eventually drop out right at the end for a relatively dry finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium-low carbonation.
Drinkability: A soft, easily drinkable, just barely hop-forward brew that, as I snatched it up for $1.49 a bottle, served me well on a Friday night.

Feb 4, 2009 Bottle, Rainhall Drinks, Barnoldswick. Never my strong point Physics, but this ain’t a bad brew from the doghouse. Poured a murky amber colour with a restrained off white head. Fragrant hoppy aroma with some maltiness lurking. Caramel malt, marmalade, and grassy hop in the flavour. Quite a bitter finish. Pretty good stuff.
