Bottled (from Beers Of Europe). Orangeish golden colour, small slightly off-white head. Aroma is fruity, some mild sweet malts, grains and some slight acidic berries (acidic not in a bad way). Flavour is bready, sweet malty, some slight floral and sweetish fruity/berryish notes with mild bitterness at the same time. Nice fruity/floral/berryish bitterness in the finish.

Hazy gold beer. Light nose of sweet malt and orange. Semi crisp palate. Moderate carbonation. Lagerish malt but a really nice light orange and citrus from the hops. Easy drinking refreshing beer.

Bottled at St. Georges Hotel, Perranporth. Pours deep golden with a small creamy white head. Aroma of fruity hops. Taste is light bitter hops, very good thirst quencher. Allthough not as crisp hops as some other beers from this brewery, it still stands out in the british crowd of beer.

Cask Handpump at the Kings Head, Bridgnorth 12/09/2009 Floral hop aroma. Small white head. Amber coloured floral and hoppy with a little dryness and roast malt in a crisp and bitter finish.

Cask at Bow bar Edinburgh ... amber ... white bubbly head ... bright hop and washing up liquid ... dull tones .. soft fruit... no real depth but innofensive.

Hazy gold slopping headlessly from the bottle. A few bilious tufts of froth. Nose freshly polished table, rhubarb, honey, Pledge, pine and polish. A pleasant departure from all the grapefruit-sodden beers I seem to have been drinking of late. Evergreen, soap and stewed Darjeeling. That’s your lot. Skinner’s beers can really hit the mark closer to source (or in the rural backwaters of Warwickshire, for that matter) but the complete lack of conditioning and off notes here render a decently hopped ale virtually undrinkable. Will try again...

Bottle: Just my kind of hops on the nose. Right there, in your face accompanied by hints of digestive biscuits. Loads of honey and citrus fruits with a finish of something a little more tropical. Oily and smooth with a good dryness to finish you off.

Bottle 50cl.
Clear light to medium yellow color with a small, virtually none appearnce, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toffee, butter. Flavor is moderate sweet and light bitter with a average to long duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. (220808)

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of fonefan. Slightly hazy golden with a tiny rough head. Ligt citrus in the nose. Light body with a weak malt base and again dry citrus before a lightly bitter finish. 220808

Bottle, thx to fonefan. It is a clear, orange-golden beer with a thin lid of off-white bubbles on top. Citrusy and malty aroma with butterscotch. Citrusy on the palate, medium body and flavors of butterscotch. Some bitterness in the finish. A decent citrusy beer, but I would prefer the butterscotch to be removed. Drinkable though. (080822)
