[Cask at GBBF 2004] An orange beer with no head. The nose contains loads of lemon, while the flavor is sweet malty with notes of peaches, oranges, lemon, and alcohol (quite impressive for a 4.8% ABV beer)

Cask@Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Deep golden colour with small white fluffy head. Aroma is fruity, nectary and quite floral. Flavour is fruits, some bready and caramelly malty notes along with some notes of earth and wood. More to the sweetish side though.
1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 7/20
UPDATED: APR 27, 2005 Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. Dark golden. Appley nose with yeasty banana. Sweet and sugary with some candy and sulpur along with stale hops and vegetables. Herbal, bitter finish . Never cared much for Loddon’s beers, and this was certainly not one of their better efforts.

Cask gravity at Kent BF 2006. Copper colour with disappearing white head. Some toffee malt, some strong green hop on finish. Bit of strawberry/grapefruit aroma. More grapefruit on end. Bit of farty yeast puts me off on the aroma.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask Conditioned at The Rose & Crown, Charlbury, Oxon. Golden Bitter with fluffy head. A tangy though deep full ale with orangey nose and bitter finish.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
A Mes rate. Cask at Baker St. ’Sporks. Clean gold with a slight collar of white suds and a little condition. Slightly astringent floral hop aroma with a hint of vanilla. Far too much sweet bready malt in the flavour which overpowers what the hops are trying to do. Late bitterness just about balances it out but overall it’s a rather dull malty golden ale.
