I'm not a great fan of the "bitter" style, but this is a good beer. Amber colour, few head. Fruity (apricots and peach) aroma. The flavour is malty, quite fruity, with a good, but not too much bitter hoppy finish.

dogbomb (632) - ENGLAND - MAY 18, 2013
Bottle. Slightly hazy amber with gold edge. Lumpy white head. Smell is toffee, sweet malt and a citrus and floral hop mix. Lighter than it smells once it hits the mouth, but the taste develops deeper into the drink once your taste buds accustom to it. Theres biscuit, caramel and a light cereal - but there’s also an hop overtone of citrus, lemon peel, grapefruit and tangerine. Finish is nice and bitter and I could session with this quite nicely.

BeerandBlues2 (7421) - Hanover, Maryland, USA - MAY 4, 2013
Bottle @ Calgary Beer Fest. Pours clear orange with a small, fizzy white head, short retention with light lacing. Aroma is cedar, tea, biscuit malt, pear and apricot esters with earthy and woody hops. Flavor is malt, estet; and hop balance with a dry finish. Light body and medium carbonation.

Hanoi (74) - - MAR 30, 2013
Nose is biscuits and sweet malts with a drop of honey. Taste is slightly floral with a slight metallic twinge. Ends with hints of lemon but, little finish to speak of. Inoffensive and forgettable.

Biscuity aroma which is also in the taste along with lemon and grass. Slightly watery but pretty nice.

Osprey87 (547) - London via, WALES - MAR 19, 2013
Feb 2013 – bottle. Slightly medicinal lemony taste, like a watered down version of the ’Celt Native Storm’. Nice enough, a bit different. Mild and drinkable – nothing wrong with it at all.

Lagerboy (672) - British Columbia, CANADA - MAR 6, 2013
Clear light dull copper, thin soapy off white head vanishes. Citrus hop sweet malt aroma. Flat and lightly bitter, floral citrus hops and subdued doughy malt taste. Low carbonation, light-medium bodied, low hopped. Sweetens slightly as it warms, a hint of minerals. Dry light bitter finish. Boring and bland. LBW (Lagerboys Be Wary)

Grzesiek79 (2365) - Radom, POLAND - FEB 19, 2013
Zdecydowanie pyszne piwo. Bitter pierwszorzędny. Mocna i trwała piana, mętny płyn i to bardzo. Zapach silnie chmielowy. Bogaty i zróżnicowany. W smaku jest podobnie, a więc bardzo dobrze. Gożki smak, wytrawny finisz. Lekko gryzie na końcu języka. Goryczka dominuje. Bardzo wytrawny bitter. Na uwagę zasługuje także malownicza etykieta.
