500ml bottle at Chris Shindig. Pale gold, slight haze, lasting white head. Some decent strong hop for a UK beer, tangerine/grapefruit. Drinkable if a little thin in body.

MesandSim (7109) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - AUG 6, 2007
A Mes rate: Bottle at Chris O’s Shindig. Dark blonde with a white head. Peaty whiskey aroma with gooseberry and some eggy sulphuric notes. Flavour is not quite so characterful. Hoppy and fairly bland with a flowery finish.

thebeertourist (4060) - Oslo, NORWAY - AUG 4, 2007
Bottle. Hazy, pale golden colour with an eggwhite-like head. Refreshing citrus aroma with toffee and floral notes. Citrussy and hoppy flavours. A bit watery. Not bad.

StueyD (666) - Heacham, King’s Lynn, Norfolk, ENGLAND - JUL 23, 2007
On draught, this one goes by the name of "Grizzly" because its based on an American honey beer recipe! A pale golden yellow coloured beer with a thickish white head. Mild citrus fruit nose, grapefruit and orange with a hint of spice. A dry taste, plenty of citrusy hop flavours, plus a buttery malt flavour that balances the finish. (Cask - The Fox & Hounds, Heacham, Norfolk).

Bottle. Some dry pale malt notes, quite earthy, with some lightly floral hops in the finish. The palate is slightly watery in the finish.
