A copper colored beer with a huge orange head. The aroma is sweet and very floral, combined with light notes of dust. The flavor is sweet and quite dry with notes of malt, caramel, and nuts, leading to an extremely dry bitter spicy end combined with some citrus notes from the hops.

Bottled (as HN 303 AD). Copper coloured, big beige bubblyish foamy head. Aroma is strong fruity hops. Flavour is fruity and smoothly hopped. The finish is almost close to caramelly sweet. Very wellbalanced brew, and creamy palate. Quite filling for only 4%. One of the better bitters I have had lately.

Bottled (BB 01/2007).
Clear amber color, firm creamy head. Woody and slightly metallic hoppy aroma. Dry, English hops dominating flavor. Hints of sweetness in the aftertaste. Quite solid bitter - does not feel like only 4.0%, propably even a bit better as a real ale version.

Bottle. Cobber colour with big creamy white head. Weak hoppy aroma and a bit of fruitiness. Very dry mouthfeel with a cramy feel. A peppery tone along with a slight bitterness. Tones of sweet berries mix into the flavour as well. Is a touch watery, which lets it down a bit.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A nice amber color and a moderate head. The aroma is has notes of aroma hops and malt, the flavour is full. I sense roasted malt, caramel, fruit and quite a bit of citrus towards the end, with a tendency to get a bit to grapefruit like. It’s a nice and fresh beer with good points.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottled, pasteurised. Orange amber with bubbly white head. Sharp acidic aroma followed by a drying bitterness in the mouth. Light amber malts give a drying feel then a Goldings hop rush to leave a dry bitterness.
