2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Slightly sour nose with a bit of cheesy yeast stealing thunder from the hops. Pours pale gold, fluffy white head. Flavour follows the nose - IPAey, but slightly cloying, a bit astringent, and generally, let’s face it, amateurish. Keep trying.

Bottle from Waitrose, Wallingford, Oxon, 15th November 2011 consumed at home 16th November 2011 (my birthday) Bit of a come down after the Kernel beers that I’ve just had, however it’s ok. Not as intensely hoppy as the description suggests. Some bitterness but mixed with a slight muddling sweetness. Ok. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1

A Mes rate: bottle thanks very kindly to Vicky.
There is no denying it is a good looking beer. Rich amber with a good off white head and really well conditioned. I’m pleasantly surprised to find I actually rather like this. Good Kentish hoppage with some delicate spice and a solid malt base. Faint sweet bready notes too. A very slight hint of cardboard but the hops kick it out of the way without any fuss. Good length to the dry bitter finish. Drinkable and balanced. Thanks V!

Bottle thanks to Mes shared with the both of them. Aroma is balanced, smells slightly pasturiesed cardboard character, but mainly earthy grassy hop with balancing malts. Taste is similar, quite drinkable stuff.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. Poured a light amber colour, with small white. Plenty of hop aroma with notes of fruit. Clean and sweet in the mouth, with a dry finish. Not sure if i liked this beer.

Bottle at home ... Rich amber ... sweet orangy little hop nose ... little fizz ... fruity orangy medicinal tones ... quite rich ... bitter hop linger... seems unbalanced.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Pours clear & deep amber with a medium off-white head. Quite ordinary toffeish malt aroma with some mild and herbal hop character. Medium bodied. Well balanced and a long bitter finish. Ok but not very interesting.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Thanks Maeib for trading this. Bit hazy golden ale with an irregular head and thick bubbles. Smells a bit grainy and cookie dough and a lot of peaches. Very citrussy and metallic, some grass and a bit of malt in the taste. Starts fresh and grassy and then the bitterness kicks in. Long and bitter finish. Nice and tasty, light beer.
