Bottle picked up at SH Jones Bicester. Pours pale golden in colour, aroma is lemony and hoppy.Flavour is citric but also hoppy again and very, very nice a real summer beer. Nice bitterness and overall a great very flavoursome beer that slipped down a treat.

Bottle from Morrisons. Pours clear light gold, very little head. Initial aroma has a maltiness to it, with light fruit, elderflower? Sharp bite of bitterness fades slowly to a more mellow but tongue-coating bitter aftertaste. Grapefruit. Good beer from a great brewery.

rodeleeuw (19) - The Hague, NETHERLANDS - JAN 4, 2012
Een aangename ale met een mooi evenwicht tussen hop en mout. De hop geeft een aroma dat in de buurt komt van grapefruit, doch niet zo uitgesproken als bij Amerikaanse bieren. De mout geeft een heel licht geroosterde smaak evenals een lichte toon van noot. Daarnaast geeft de mout de typisch Engelse "biscuit" smaak.bitterheid.
