500ml bottle (Snow@ChrisO)
Classic Greede Kerching sweet fruity boring bitter. Papery and a bit buttery. Surprisingly drinkable considering how little I like the GK house taste.

Mid brown appearance, has a small head and small sweet aroma. Has a mild sweet bitterness but its greatest asset is its smooth texture.

Bottle a Chriso’s tasting 20/01/2013. Clear bottle. Big skunky nose. Light amber with a white head.low viscosity. Thin watery vaguely nutty stale cardboard. Bad.

Bottle at Chriso Snow Tasting, thanks to Leighton, 20/01/13. Clear golden amber with a thin off white head that clears to the edge. Nose carries pale malts, orchard fruit, light hops, spice. Taste comprises grain, pale malt, faint summer fruit. Medium bodied, some light spritz on the carbonation front, bitter finish. Not good, not bad, file under ’W’ for whelmed!

Bottle at the ChrisO Snow Tasting, London - one of my contributions! Pours clear amber with a good, off-white froth head. Pukey malt aroma, lots of pasteurisation character. Light sweet flavor, brown bready malts, some dry leaves, faint earth. Light bodied with average carbonation. Moderately dry finish, more brown bread, dusty earth. OK.

Bottle at Chriso Snow Tasting. Deep amber brown colour. lasting off white head. some greene king green apple. some toffee. ok but not great

Bottle. Pours a deep bronze with a heavy light tan head. Toffee and a hint of sulphur on the nose. The drink opens with the sulphuric I smelled, then mellows into a weak bitterness and some acidic toffee. Not that keen on this.

50cl bottle. Orangish colour with minimal off-white head tha quickly diminishes. Aroma is caramel, hoppy and wood. Flavor is bittery, caramel, earthy, peat. Dry and moderate bittery final. Carbonation and body are medium.
