erickok (1071) - Leiden, NETHERLANDS - APR 21, 2012
Very light coloured ale served without head. Light but surely hoppy aroma, but butter, cornflakes and earthy. Smooth body, maybe too low on carbonation. Taste is straightforward but well drinkable. Very light and very English. (Pint)

StephanieH (2) - NETHERLANDS - MAR 13, 2012 does not count
Op zich weinig écht bijzonders (troebel, hoppig, weeïg, gistig), maar als dorstlesser en gezien het lage alcoholpercentage een prima bier. Van ’cask’, dus ongekoeld en zonder toegevoegd koolzuur, wat misschien even wennen is.

POLK (1626) - Hørning, DENMARK - MAR 6, 2012
Lovely English hoppy beer. Easily drinkable delicious. Forget about the American hop style, just enjoy this fruity beer.
