MiP (5133), Flensburg, Germany Sep 5, 2008 Bottle, max 1%. Sweet malt syrup aroma. Clear amber colour. Good hoppiness in flavour, some cinnamon. Does not really taste low alcohol except for some breadiness. Mes_and_Sim (4365), Highgate, Greater London, England Aug 28, 2008 A Mes rate: bottle at Chris O’s Post GBBF Tasting. Amber gold with no head. Sweaty feet, tobacco, heavily oxidised and some diacetyl. Tests very little like the best bitter and is in all honesty pretty rank. oh6gdx (5907), Vaasa, Finland Aug 5, 2008 Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is caramel malts, some hops and nectar. Flavour is earthy, fruity, nectary and also has some slight cardboard notes. KimJohansen (3351), Copenhagen V, Denmark Aug 4, 2008 Clear golden with medium white head. Sweet and mild hoppy aroma. Sweet flavor with cardboard notes. Ends mild bitter. Ethereal (894), London, Greater London, England Feb 11, 2008 275ml bottle. Copper coloured, with a toffeeish aroma. Alas, like so many of their bottled beers recently, this was afflicted with diacetyl. Beneath that, you can taste the relation to the Sussex Best. Not hoppy enough though and rather flat.
