Bottled. Copper colour, moderate head and condition. Good hoppy nose, suggestive of dry hopping, with some caramel also noticable. Good blend of orangy malt and peppery hop oil in the mouth and a long lingering mouthcoating hop bitterness in the finish that becomes quite dry.

500ml. bottle. The aroma is citrus fruits and malt. A copper coloured beer with an off white head and lacing. The flavour is sweet with notes of malt and citrus with a dry and bitter finish.

Bottled, 500ml, 2nd in the Isle of Wight bottles from Pat. Amber with fast dissipating white head. Pasteurised. There is a burnt caramelisation taste about this, heavy pasteurisation, metallic and frankly pretty lifeless. Standard leafy hop note late on. Not great.

Bottled. An amber coloured beer with a whitish head and lacing. A sweet bitter with toffee notes. Caramel and a bit of butter in the nose. Late fruit in the mouth. Odd in places. The strength comes through. It’s alright.

Bottled. A golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of citrusy fruits and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, citrus fruits, and elderflowers, leading to a dry and bitter finish.

Bottle. Pours a amber colour with a thin white head. Good hoppy aroma, the taste is all citrus with a dry bitter finish.

50cl bottle bought in Hartney Whitney. Amber with a faint ring of white head; aroma of apricots and honey; oily textrure with fruity malt flavours; the finish is dry, with a soft undertone of English hops. A sound but unexciting bitter.

Den första ölen jag drack på Hawkley Inn hösten -09. Då tyckte jag den kändes humlad med amerikansk humle. Senare insåg jag att välhumlade engelska öl med speciellt fuggles får fin humlekaraktär. Inte lika bra på flaska. Mörkare och nötigare än de andra från Goddards.

[500ml bottle from Rosemary vineyard shop, Ryde] Amber-brass-urine colour, no head. Fine yet prickly carbonation. Tastes of dry, dusty barley in an old barn. Sweetness behind but with a little bitterness to finish. Rather watery and bland for the ABV.
