"A delicate golden colour, Firecrest explodes with a bouquet of cirtus aroma, balanced by a crescendo of juicy, tart malt and a spice of final bitterness."

Bottled. Pretty good, not sure about the aroma though.

RichardGretton (4028) - Leicestershire, ENGLAND - APR 2, 2002

Appearence is very carbonated with little head. The malty flavours come through, but it tastes too much like vimto for my liking.

rauchbier (3409) - Isle Of Beer, Lincolnshire, ENGLAND - MAR 12, 2002

UPDATED: DEC 9, 2003 Lots of peppery hops and malt in aroma, golden colour with short lasting head and moderate condition. Fruity malt in the mouth with hops and alcohol becoming more apparent in the aftertaste.
