500 mL bottle from Beers of Europe into a pint glass. Cloudy orange/brown with a good foamy head. Light, pleasant perfumed aroma, fruity and slightly wheaty. Woody (a bit of pine needle), plenty of hops, some biscuit, nice.

Cask - The Kings Head, Norwich. Clear, golden orange, medium sized, creamy white head with good longevity. Apple, yeast & caramel on the nose. Notes of orange, earth & yeast in terms of flavours. Soft palate texture, light to medium body with a relatively short bittersweet finish.

Cask Handpump at the Station Hotel, Oakengates 20/08/2005 Golden coloured sweet and a little rich on the palate with a hint of dryness in a crisp and bitter finish.

Bottled. A golden beer with a huge off-white head. The aroma has notes of spices and elderflowers. The flavor is sweet with light notes of malt and spices - ginger, cloves, and elderflowers, leading to a dry bitter finish. The body is light. Thanks fonefan for sharing.

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of fonefan. Hazy golden with a tall and very lively bubbly off-white head. Sweetish citrusy nose. Medium body with sweet malts and fruit accents. A litte low in carbonation. Fairly hoppy finish. 220808

Bottle, thx to fonefan. It pours a big, foamy off-white head over a hazy, orange body. Chalky, dusty and citrusy nose with some pale malt. Far from as bad as expected. Citrusy, dusty and slightly sour flavor with a flowery touch and some bitterness. Quite bitter finish with citrus and pinecones. Medium body. A refreshing and quenching beer, pity it has the sour touch. (080822)

50 cL bottle. Pours unclear orange with a slowly collapsing white head. Orange fruity and mild brett-ish dry aroma. Citric and orange fruity hops flavour with a distinct brett dryness and citric touch. Mild herbal touch into the finish.

Bottle. Golden with a large foam head. Aromas are citrus and yeast with dry woody hops. Flavours are dry with lemon. Low sweetness with light hops on the finish.

Half, Hunstanton. Bright gold draped with lace. Juicier hop aroma than the last beer, grapefruit, dishcloth. Straw, dough, digestives, decent lemony hop in the middle, shampoo finish. Too much paracetemol bitterness, but alright.
