Bottle 500ml.
Clear medium amber color with a large, frothy to creamy, good lacing, fully lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, moderate hoppy, light to moderate yeasty, leather. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20100102]

Tasted this in the Last Post, Paisley (JDW) in May 2009. Cask, handpump dispense. Clear pale copper in colour with a thin buff head. Slight note of digestive tea biscuit in the weak aroma. Thin mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malts deliver a weak tea biscuit flavour laced with a dry currant fruit note. Malt body really lacks punch though and tastes watery. Thin hop resins give a sharp metallic tang which is rather short lived. Bitter sweet finish. A poor effort.

Dirty nutty brown body, khaki head. Aroma has roastiness, dates, pines and yeast. Flavour is really harsh with nuts and lots of hops. Some berries and metal.

500 ml bottle. HHOKX. From Conwy, Wales.
Dirty light brown colour with average to big fluffy off-white head. Toasted malt, fruity bitterness, yeast and a touch of homebrew in aroma. Acrid bitterness, berries, toasted malt and pine in flavour. Bitterness turns quite unpleasant.

Copper colour with a frothy white head. Medium carbonation. Slightly spiced malt aroma. Malt flavour with a spicy bitterness. Smooth texture with a tangy hop freshness. Very tasty ale.

bottle from Bacchus Crickhowell. Clear amber-golden colour, mid-sized white head. Citrusy-fruity nose. Medium-bodied, malty background with a large amount of citrus hopy. Delicious.

Bottle 500 ml from Thirst for Beer in Pwllheli (Wales). Ale amber-orangy, flat and without foam. Flavor bitter, round of some steams malted, keys of toffy. The taste seems in two phases, at first on the smooth malt and then comes the bitterness of grapefruit and grass notes. Similar end, malted then dry with bitterness of grapefruit.

(on bottle) Light orange, hazy, with white head. US hopnose, soft carbonation and a mild, barleyed taste. Very dry finish for a UK beer.

Cask uin the new wheat sheaf. Alround rating: Thin body, brown malts and lightly nutty, grassy and minimal. Lacking condition somewhat.

Handpulled cask at JDW Hatch End. Amber with an off white head. Well balanced best bitter with a noticable citrus element to the hop profile. Rather quaffable.
