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).

chriso (7065) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - SEP 1, 2007
Bottle, at London Shindig, August 2007. Hazy straw colour. Slightly sharp, yeasty aroma. Light bitterness on the palate, with plenty of citrus. Sharp tangy mouthfeel, with a light body. Not bad. Might have suffered from being tasted directly after the Arcadia Cocoa Loco. Might try this one again if I get a chance.

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.
