2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Very active beer initially when poured, very hoppy and very bitter to its detriment. Below par beer for the style.

Delicate hop flower bitterness and confident malt…A friendly conversation…

Bottle - Hazy dirt golden color. Aroma of hopsack. Maris Otter malt characteristics are all in here along with banana-like fruitiness. Finish is very dry and tannic. It appears that the cask would be much better.

The aroma really struck me--had an essence of a cherry licorice candy I used to have when I was a kid. The flavor didn’t match, but it was very bold and interesting. Light color. (Had on tap, Squirrel Inn, just off the A3 nr. Godalming, Surrey)

UPDATED: JAN 11, 2004 Bottle version: Clear yellow color with a fizzy head. Apples in the aroma, weak watery mouthfeel. Sampled NERAX '02: Watery palate, yellow color, starts a slight bit sweet ends a slight bit bitter. ZZZZZZ...

straw colored, no head, sligth floral aroma. CASK- Mild, fruity, with a dry finish. It’s a decent beer, nothing outstanding however.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sampled cask conditioned. Golden coloured. Flowery aroma. Medium bodied. Rather sweet, clean. Salty and remarkably bitter finish.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Smells and tastes fresh and clean. This is a light beer with a dry rather than bitter finish. Nice bottle conditioned sparkle, too.

Lovely golden colour, with a good bitter quality. As the name suggests, a nice summer drink.
