Pale golden colour with tiny white head. Sweet caramel and malt in aroma. Sweet caramel malt, mild fruity hops but no bitterness.

Cask Stillage at the Roundhouse, Barrow Hill 14/05/2011 Floral aroma. Clear golden coloured a little pale and fruity with a passion fruit flavour. Hoppy with a hint of dryness in a crisp malt finish.

Bottle, reduced price at Tesco and I can understand why. Chemical aroma, minimal flavour and what there is registers as unpleasant. Avoid.

Bottled. Golden colour with small white head. Aroma is malty, hoppy and a bit grainy. Also some strange sweetish notes. Flavour is quite much the same, grassy and sweetish aftertaste.

Bottle. Thanks hallinghansen. Clear golden colour with a medium white head. Malty bit hoppy aroma with honey notes. Some sourness as well. Sweet malt, honey and sweet balsamico in flavour.

UPDATED: DEC 29, 2008 Bottle. Golden head small white head. Sweet honey, but also citrus notes. Better than expected.

Bottle. Clear blond and very sweet.In fact the sweetness is overpowering. This sweetness lingers well after drinking. Aimed at a specialist market but one I definitely wouldn’t try again.
