Ungstrup (23960) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - DEC 23, 2005
[Cask at GBBF 2005] A hazy orange beer with a slight orange head. The aroma is a combination of hops and oranges on a malty background, while the flavor is malty and fruity with oranges standing out, and with a dry hoppy end, but a thin body.

Cask at GBBF08. Almost clear golden colour. Small white head. The flavour is citric and refreshing, but I also get a little plastic.

Oakes (10184) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - NOV 3, 2010
@ Abbotsford, Edinburgh. Golden amber. Not much aroma. Light toasty with some stale tobacco notes, maybe a mineral accent. Dryish beer but otherwise nothing special. Some juicy notes late help out.

chriso (7065) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JAN 19, 2004
Pale amber colour. Faint aroma. Wetherspoons don't help by serving it too cold. Some hop character in the palate but, overall, I found this beer very thin and watery. And I like bitters and IPAs. Handpump, Lord Moon of the Mall, Whitehall, London.
