COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Regular. Also available bottle conditioned.
A well hopped bitter with a light colour and full bodied taste. Bitterness predominates in the mouth and leads to a dry, hoppy aftertaste. Deceptively drinkable for it’s strength!

Nicely bitter, but the start is perhaps a bit too sweet, lacks a bit of bite, OK. Nice malt and hop character.

StueyD (666) - Heacham, King’s Lynn, Norfolk, ENGLAND - MAR 6, 2012
Mid orange beer with a thickish white head. Distinctly malty aroma, biscuity sweet with a faint hint of grassy hop. Dry mouthfeel, bittersweet, smoothy malty taste, biscuity and sweet, but with a balancing dry, grassy hop flavour towards the end.

Hermod (1694) - Vantaa, FINLAND - NOV 22, 2010
Cask @The Pullman Bar, Helsinki. Poured slightly hazy, orange color with a typical bubbly head. Aroma is rubbery/mushrooms. Very odd. Flavor quite similar, slight sweetness. Finish is kinda harsh. Not very pleasant one.

Oakes (10196) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - SEP 6, 2010
Bright amber. Toasty and caramel aroma. Sweetish, nice caramel taste. A little bit of toastiness late. Not very summery, but ok bitter.

Beershine (4754) - The Sunshine State, Florida, USA - SEP 1, 2010
Cask @ The Be.. Bath. Deep gold with casky head. Soft oily palate. Yummy mellow flavors. Wet fur aroma is not as offensive as that sounds. Nice malt sweetness throughout. Sweet and sticky. Not the greatest beer but drinkable.

maeib (6637) - Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, ENGLAND - MAR 2, 2009
Cask conditioned - handpump Lamplighter, Northampton. A golden coloured beer with a small whitish head and a little lace. The aroma and taste haev signs of diacetyl which give it an impression of sweetness. Some fruitiness and maltiness. A little too sweet and verges on the chewy.
