Mar 1, 2008 Cask in Blackfriars. OMG, i had brewers gold on last week and it was completly awsome like top 20 of all time. No i get this chap on and it just takes hoppy light golden ales to a whole new level. Aroma is bursting with a mix of citrus lychee notes and tropical fruit, prhaps even some clear golden honey floral character. Taste is just bursting with balanced fruity sharpness and richness, all in all i doubt many beers could beat this as best beer ion the world when its in this type of form. A worldbeater that takes that brewers gold extra for a ride and kicks it up and down ths street for the banter!

Jun 16, 2006 A bright, golden to orange beer with a thickish white head. A powerful hop aroma, floral, and plenty of tropical fruits, sweet grapefruit, lemons and mangoes! The taste is very dry to begin with, then, (after a few pints!), this mellows, to allow the hoppy, floral, fruitiness to come through, Again, grapefruits and lemons, plus bananas and mangoes. Deceptively drinkable, as some of the locals would agree - hench the rendition of the Tony Christie classic! Perfect for a balmy English Summer’s eve. (Cask - The Fox & Hounds, Heacham, Norfolk).

Hazy orange color. Wonderful hop aroma, flowery and grassy. Velvety, a good maltiness completely overhelmed by the hop aromas. I love those hop infusions, I'm going to sleep very well tonight!
Crouch Vale is definively one of my best breweries.

Jun 18, 2006 Pint pulled at The Evening Star in Brighton, a clear light amber with a thin white head. A beautiful sweet berry and citrus aroma with a perfect tanginess. Pineapple and fruit salad flavours, a great bitterness all the way through and a good dry finish. One word - delicious!

Pours light hazy golden amber with a small, creamy, white head. Wonderful lacing. Aroma is great. Wonderful hops, powerful yet subdued. A chewy biscuity maltiness behind it. Wonderful creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is simply so stunning, that 5 % ABV seems unrealistic. Dries out my teeth and the rest of my mouth with a super hoppy touch on top of a stunningly balanced malt base. This...is...officially...the...best...session...beer...ever!!!
