CLear golden with medium off white head. Floral hops in the aroma along with fruity notes. Hoppy flavor with caramel and mild fruity notes. Finishes somewhat bitter.

500ml bottle (Sainsbury’s)
Pale gold, brief head. Weetabixy and light hoppy aroma. Some cornflakes, and sweet. Quite fizzy palate, hot harsh. Earthy taste, reasonable full light malt body, quite biting bitter noble hops. As it warms the aroma becomes more like buttered toast, and the burntness comes over more in the taste too. Has ups and downs over time - at its best its very full and tasty, at its low it’s plain and corny. Feels quite sophisticated and well made though.

Bottle: Slightly hazy, mid-sized, slowly collapsing white head; moderate fruity-hoppy nose; bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied; lingering bitterness in the sweetish fruity-hoppy finish. Decent.....

(bottle) Hazy, pale golden colour with a small blonde foamy head. Slightly sweet and yeasty malt aroma with light-fruity (citrus) and woody hoppy notes. Light-bitter flavour with soft sweetish edges, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Initially malty, slightly chalky and subtle fruity taste; moderately dry and bitter finish with citrousy and slightly herbal hoppy notes. Decent beer (05.03.08).
