DruncanVeasey (5146) - NUNEATON, Blue Square Prem, Warwickshire, ENGLAND - OCT 28, 2009
Fizzing amber with a tight lacing collar. Sweet caramel, grass and tea aroma with orange and honey dabs. Pleasant enough bread and honey with a cherryish back note. Slight, but at 3.2% you’ve got to make some allowances..

johndoughty (2946) - cheslyn hay, West Midlands, ENGLAND - JUN 17, 2009
Bottle. Golden and poured with a medium head. Some bitterness and a thin body. Not an unpleasant drink just weak and lacking any kind of personality.

Ungstrup (23961) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - AUG 8, 2003
The aroma is sweet and hoppy. The color is amber and it has a beutiful head. The flavor is a little light, but malty and pretty hoppy. It was somewhat flat even though I had it from a bottle. The malt blend tasted weird on my tastebuds.
