bottle. June 2013 BBD. lightly hazed bronze body with a tall and lasting off-white head. succulent coffee cake malt consumes the nose: spiced bread, honey / nectar, multi-grain crackers, clean and quite whiskey-like. hops provide balanced grass and fruit (dried pineapple and apricots) character, and the yeast is properly musty, dusty and rustic. medium-full body with a rich and sticky malt bite with touches of fresh peat; hops are modestly bitter and slightly resinous; yeast lends an old-world basement must and dried fruit quality. a bit sharp and smacking with a slight excess of alcohol for my tastes, but the body is lush and round and the carbonation full and fitting for the weight. another stellar English-style beer from Celt, and quite fresh, just arriving in state a couple of weeks ago.

Bottle from the Classic Deli a.k.a. the Dodgi Deli, Cowley Rd, Oxford consumed with my dad at home 20.09.11 Pours orange/amber with a filmy white head. Slight warmth from the alcohol, little bit of sweet orange, touch flowery, some dryness, little bit of bitterness, it’s very good. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.5

Bottle. Head is initially average sized, frothy, white, mostly lasting. Body is dark yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted bread, cookie), lightly hoppy (herbs, flowers), lightly yeasty (dough), with a note of Meyer lemon, light note of butter. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, velvety/watery texture, lively carbonation, lightly alcoholic. Basically a richer version of the Golden, but while the aroma is attractive it’s pretty quiet. Wonderful balance in the mouth, neither too sweet or too dry for its size, very clean and flavorful. As enjoyable as the Golden, but the Native Storm is the clear winner among the three.

Dark golden coloured and clear. Has a white head, medium duration. Hoppy aroma, citrus notes, faint caramel too. Light sweet flavor to a start, finish moderate to heavy bitter. Dry texture.

Bottle from Bacchus, Crickhowell. Amber with a slight white head and plenty of carbonation. Malty aroma of caramel, apricot and citrus hop. Slightly bready flavour with more caramel, fruity hops and a long, bitter finish. Good.
