50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Mild hoppy and crisp aroma. Mild malty flavoured with a light bitterness and vague toasted breadish note. Light bitter and crisp finish. Ends medium dry.

Bottle, 5.6%. Clear dark golden colour. Very small white head. The flavour has a little malt, but is remarkably dull. A little grain, hint of sweetness.

(bottle) Clear, greenish golden colour with a medium-sized, quite persistent foamy white head. Light-sweet, slightly sour doughy malt aroma with grainy accents and a whiff of herbal hops. Slightly bitter flavour; doughy and slightly nutty taste; medium to light bodied with a moderate carbonation; sweet-bitter, (hazel-)nutty and shy herbal hoppy finish (16.07.08).

clear pale golden colour, few head, herbal, few hops, oily and heavy - disappointing

Bottle (thanx to joss !): Golden, bigger loose white head with a good lace; light metallic nose with a vinous touch, all in all the usual suspects in the nose: grains, pale malt and so on; soft MF, medium bodied; solid sweet, a bit almondy finish with a hoppy touch in the aftertaste. Good, but not great.........

Süßlich-fruchtiger Antrunk, leicht würzig, wenig hopfig werdend, mild. Sehr süß im Mittelteil, etwas herber werdend, im Abgang dominiert die Süße erneut. Test vom 10.3.2008, Gebinde: Fass Noten: 9,8,10,10,-,9 - 9,15

Golden with a small head. Aromas are sweet lemon - and lots of it, caramel malts, butter. Oddly, like a Marstons bottle ale, but better. Flavours are sweet grain, lemon, metallic hops with more fruitiness. Nice and dry. Quite crisp and clean. Dry and hoppy on the finish. Simple - but I like it.
