Bottle from Oddbins, Edinburgh. Poured a hazy dark orange colour with a decent off-white head. Aroma is hoppy with some sweet maltiness.and a hint of orange. Flavour is very well balanced and there is lots going on, with a subtle spiciness mingling beautifully with the hops, malt abd citrus. A great marriage. The finish is great too, rich, dry and bitter. Wonderful - smooth, cirsp and well bodied. A pleasure to drink, as good beer should be. Another pleae !

Nov 21, 2008 Bottle. Pours a rich copper color with slight off white head. Smells hoppy and sweet. Tastes like bread grains, sweet malts, bittersweet hops, a little sugary. Very good.

Rich, malty beer, full of grainy flavour. Ending up in a dry, well hopped finish. Very nice.
