CampbellWilson (533) - SCOTLAND - JUN 24, 2005
Bottle from Asda. Bottle conditioned. Sparkling yellow/gold with persistent white head. Aroma of fruity (lemon/grapefruit) hop. Good long hoppy finish. Tasty. I’ve had a soft spot for RCH since a friend used to go to the Royal Clarence Hotel on hols (15 years ago?) and bring back a cask for our sports club. God knows where he put the luggage!

NEBS (7) - Sunderland, ENGLAND - JUN 9, 2005 does not count
Pale Amber, bottle conditioned ale. Smooth, hoppy ale as you would expct from a bottle conditioned beer. Dominant taste is the citrus, grapefruit in the smooth mouthfeel. Quite a good, unagressive beer.
