Poured a cloudy uninviting yellow.Muddy apearance and all round not very pleasant to drink.Some bitterness but generally i felt very let down by this one.

Bottle conditioned. Hazy amber colour with a slim white head. Malty aroma. Sweet malty taste with some citric hops. Medium bodied, lightly carbonated with a long and light bitter finish.

BCA (from Bottles of Botley, BBE Jun 06). Fruity slightly sweet malt with a light zesty hop background. Quite clean and light and nothing to complain about.

(Bottled) Amber color with very small head. Slightly sour and oaky aroma with some fruitiness and malt. Fruity, moderately malty flavor with a bitter but smooth finish. Light to medium-bodied, bitter and slightly sour palate with quite low carbonation. A decent, but quite light bitter.

Bottle. Initially malty sweet, barley sweetness. Lightly toasty characters, and a touch of citric hops. A bit flat and sweet with some metallic edges. Feels really thin and short flavourwise.
