Cask on my English stag, Nottingham BF, 15/10/11. Me and my Dad returned to this one many times over the day. Pale and drenched with condition. That stewed, celery and Darjeeling-accented thing- very English despite the florid US hoppage. Very sessionable little effort.

UPDATED: JAN 23, 2012 On tap i Liverpool. Hazy amber colour with a tan head. Very hoppy nose, light sweet. Light sweet nose but very sweet flavour with a lot of hopps. Unfortunately very flat

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a beige head. The aroma is very flowery combined with notes of hops - like a meadow in summertime. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of hops combined with medium notes of spices and flowers, leading to a dry and very bitter finish.

Bottle 500ml.

Unclear medium orange color with a small, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, moderate to heavy hoppy, orange - citrus, hops, US-hoppy aroma ;O). Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter with a long to average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20101102]

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of tdtm82. Pours a cloudy golden with a small, rough white head. Excellent aroma from the US aroma hops - peach and citrus. Medium body, sweet fruit and again great aromatic hops leaving a solid hop bite. This is amost APA territory. An excellent quaffer. 021110

Bottle. home, picked up on order request from the brewery at Queen’s Head. Poured into goblet glass. Lovely white head, lacing is very good. quite cloudy appearance and a little murky even with rest, excellent yeast strain, really strong hoppy aroma of passion fruits, pine and perfume, drinkability is mesmerising, very dry-lemon finish, also some oranges, some doughy yeast, some grassy elements, a lovely fruity finish, medium. Low carbonation and oily and creamy. One sensational beer. Please do NOT stop at this ultra limited range. I am gasping for more.
