750ml bottle from Londis Westholme stores, Goring on Thames, Oxon 03-05-08 Hazy amber almost orangey in colour with a thin white head. Tangy, soft slightly sour tasting beer, bit fruity, nothing special.

500ml bottle from the Moffat Wool Mill. Lively foam head, and a citric nip. Quite yeasty, even though well settled and carefully poured. There’s a possible pleasant, fresh session bitter here with some lemon notes, but the conditioning hasn’t gone too well so the beer is just a little too sharp for my comfort.

(Bottle 50 cl) Slightly hazy, pale amber golden with a rough, off-white head leaving some lacework. Unclean aroma with a touch of citrus. Light in body with an excessive carbonation. Some weird Brettish accents without any real sourness. A little fruit and caramel but no bitterness. Interesting. 311007

Bottle. Clear medium amber color with a average, frothy / creamy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, moderate yeasty, fruity, fruit acidic. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. Very refreshing (301007)
