DruncanVeasey (6114) - NUNEATON, Blue Square Premier, Warwickshire, ENGLAND - APR 27, 2011
Bottle from Booth’s..Ilkley, funnily enough. Lager gold heaped with a loose bathfoam head. Aroma of dandelions, babbling Yorkshire brooks, soft stones, woods whitening with Hawthorn blossom. Taste of Rich Tea biscuits, slate rubbed with caramel; clean grassy, biscuit character with a deep, barely discernible undercurrent of tangerine. Quietly impressive.

yngwie (10760) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - MAR 19, 2011
Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. A clear, golden beer with an off-white head of moderate size. Citrusy nose with grapefruit peel and a faint note of malts. Nice bitterness in the flavor, lots of citrus peel and with some pale malts as a base. Medium body, dry. Lasting citrus peel bitterness in the end. Overall, a quite nice and easy drinking beer, although I suspect it would be challenging to drink a few of it. 110319

BeerCast_Rich (1680) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - MAR 4, 2011
[cask at Phoenix, York] Slightly hazy golden pour with a thin white head that reduces pretty quickly. Grassy hop aromas and a gentle hop profile on the palate, leading to a mildly bitter finish with a touch of citrus fruit. A very British session ale, one you could drink all night without any problems [26022011]
