Pours a light copper with a tight dense head. Aroma features citrus, lemon and lime fruit essence, a touch of nutty malt and a touch of light strike. On the palate the lemon lime character is continued, a slight caramalt character, and a decent bitter finish. A light quenching pint, would be better from the cask.

Oct 9, 2008 Notes from old review...
Served at cellar temperature in Duvel glass. Another Shepherd Neame beer, and somehow I’m no longer excited of the prospect. The nose on this one seems more standoutish, toffeeish malt in there but more hop dominant; a bit of citrus, orange and lemon, almost seems like a soft drink. Bit less stale perhaps? Clear copper body with foamy white head and lace. Initial flavour is quite nice; nutty toffee malts, zesty lemon and orange hops. Body drops off quite quickly and left with a lingering dryness that isn’t too appealing, kinda soapy. Not bad, not great, there’s something off putting about it.

Jun 30, 2008 Bottiglia trasparente da 50cl... non guasta! (miracolo); versa color ambrato chiaro con poca schiuma ma molto aderente e compatta bella bella. L’aroma è floreale ma piuttosto dolce, quasi zibibbesco, con una nota sbruciacchiata tenue. Il sapore non è male: inizialmente eccessivamente dolce, sviluppa un buon amaro che si stempera presto e lascia sentori di cannella e marron glacé.
