Bottled. Slightly musty peach aroma, clear gold body with soft carbonation, slightly sweet peachy flavour reminds me slightly of one of the Badger beers albeit without the latter’s depth.

TC2642 (265) - Worcester, Worcestershire, ENGLAND - MAY 21, 2004
Nice amount of foam with citrus and peach notes. Citrus and malty taste, well balanced. A good but not a great beer. Could have done with being bottle conditioned.

Boystout (1000) - Chisinau, MOLDOVA - MAY 11, 2004
Not bad, but mostly on the dry/hoppy side (like rusty water). Also has some spicy/grassy notes.

Pale beer with a dryly hopped flavour and dry/fruity aroma. Overall a good dry beer.

DanielBrown (2718) - Birmingham (via Leicester), West Midlands, ENGLAND - APR 12, 2004
Bottle from Stirchley C-op. A celebration ale, brewed to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Roger Bannister running a mile in under 4 minutes. Luminous yellow, with a loose white head. Grapefruit and lemon aroma. Gentle but balanced and tasty Blond ale. Hops to start and in the middle, malty on the finish. Very lemony, with a real bitter zesty quality. Just like Sir Roger in 1954, this is very zippy, but looks graceful.
