Gold pour. Small white head that lasts the entire drink. Lacing. Malt aroma with notes of caramel and roast. Nice hop presence. Taste is spot on with the nose. Quite drinkable and tasty. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

500ml bottle (Snow@ChrisO)
Pleasantly fruity hops in the aroma. Smooth palate, quite full body. Sweetish and fruity taste too. Decent balance, but this can’t cut through my fatigue, I need more excitement in my glass.

Bottle at the ChrisO Snow Tasting, London - thanks to Ian, Canterbury’s top homer. Pours lightly hazy gold with a bubbly, white head. Big floral hop nose, some wheat. Medium sweet flavor with heavy doses of grass and flowers, some dirt, perfume. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Decent balance to finish, lots of perfumey and floral bitterness. Nice.

Bottle at ChrisO Snow Tasting, thanks to Ian. It pours hazy golden yellow with a small bubbly white head. The nose is bitter, pithy citrus, red grapefruit and some soap. The taste is dough, orange peel, grapefruit, pithy, nice bitterness, pine, pepper and soap with a dry, citric finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Smooth, tasty and rather drinkable.

UPDATED: JAN 21, 2013 Bottle, thanks to Ian at Chriso Snow Tasting 20/01/13. Hazed golden yellow with little in the way of a head. Nose carries juicy fresh hops, mango, sweet grapefruit, mandarin. Taste comprises hops, pale malt, orange, pink grapefruit, hint of pine, mineral tones. Medium bodied with soft carbonation and a little tarteness in the otherwise bitter finish. Decent!
