3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20
50cl bottle. Light golden with almost non existing head. Nose : bread and grains, barnyard aromas. Sip : Water, light carbonation. Crispy and dry. Grains and hay malt flavours. The beer misses good hopping to invite for the next sip.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 9/20
Pale yellow with a thin body and small creamy head. Has a hop character but not too deep.
2.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20
Tutti-fruiti/Bubblegum aroma, cream-soda taste, weak aftertaste. Nothing interesting...move on.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Pressie. Golden, clear ale with thin head. Fruity hops aroma with citrus but also some chocolate (?) which was unexpected. Sweet start; tangy malty citrus finish. Light, very drinkable.
3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
500ml brown glass bottle from Dobbies. A citric hoppy pale malt beer. Malt is dryish, thin, biscuit like and quite acceptable. Hops are citric juicy with a barbed edge - moderately jammy. A decent package - thirst quenching and reasonably attractive. Not entirely to my taste, but it’s OK.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Citrus aroma. Some light malts come through. The hop flavour does feel a bit stale but leaves a nice bitter finish.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask at GBBF 2012. Light clear amber white big foam head. Nose is leafy hop, lemon citrous, grainy malt, grassy. Body is very light. Lacking big flavours but decent session ale.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask @ GBBF ’12. Light golden color with a small, creamy white head. The nose is sugar cookie, some light lemon and soft straw. The taste is light apple butter toast, some lemon rind and light orchard fruits. Hints of white grape. Quite balanced, and not the hop bomb that the name suggests. Light body, soft carbonation. Overall, OK. Not particularly memorable!
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle from Beers of Europe, King’s Lynn, bb June 2012
Pale blond color; small head. Light aroma of hay, grass, chamomile, tea. Dry and weak mouthfeel, little flavor of straws and cereals, ordinary bitterness.
Purchased today, beyond date, therefore unfresh.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle, thanks to Guy. Golden pour with a small white head. Some citrus notes in the nose and flavour ,alongside some fairly unremarkable hoppage. Lacked any real balls and pretty forgettable stuff overall.
