Bottle. Golden brown with a thin head. Aromas are biscuit with honey and mellow lemon. Yeast with spices. Flavours are sweet lemon with rind and spices. Toast with honey and a fruity bitterness to finish. Clean and peppery on the aftertaste. Not bad.

Completely astonishing for a 4.6% beer. Smells of banana and toffee. Tastes the same but with a warming alcohol kick that defies its strength. Could enjoy this any day of the week. X

Bottled
Lightly scented and pale coloured. Taste is a mix of light citrus with floral notes and a very distinct but not overly sweet honey tone. Very drinkable although would benefit from a bit more hop!

Bottle [500ml]. Pours a clear bubbly gold with a spare diminishing white head. Aroma of light floral hops, malt and a mild vegetal note. Lightly hoppy flavour along with malt, fruit and a light to average bitter finish. Medium bodied. Pretty good.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Dreadful pint at the Midland in Matlock Bath, July 2011. This was the first time I’d tried this beer on draught and was massively disappointed, zero condition, no head, no aroma and tasted of old boiled veg. This brewery can and does produce some good ale, but this was awful.

Cask handpull, The Old Bowling Green, Winster, Derbyshire, 02/07/11. Clean and brassy with a slim white top. Full and slick with a characterful interplay of lemony jellied hop and creamy oak. Herbal piney hop aroma, late husk and bitterness. Good stuff with Plenty of interest.
