johndoughty (3286) - cheslyn hay, West Midlands, ENGLAND - JUL 22, 2006
Very clear golden apprearance with a dry bitterness that really hits you.Rich full hoppiness and plenty of body. Left plenty of lacing and a strong aftertaste. Very nice as long as you dont like your beers to be subtle.

RichardGretton (4020) - Leicestershire, ENGLAND - JUN 2, 2006
Bottle. Amber beer with a strong head. The aroma is dry and toffee and the flavour is very, very, very dry (probably too dry). Overall an OK beer but not exactly to my taste.

rickgordon (3815) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - MAY 3, 2006
Bottled. Muddy golden colour. Rich hoppy at my surprise, this was almost salty. Very crisp and tasty. Good body, and good quality overall.

Bottle. Amber, golden with a small off-white head. Aromas are very hoppy and sweet with perfume floral notes. Some dry biscuit, also. Fresh with light caramel malts. Flavours are biscuit malts with bitter, fruity hops. Dry with lots of bitter grapefruit. Very hoppy with a dry finish.

yalnikim (800) - Wellington, NEW ZEALAND - FEB 9, 2006
Tasted 09/02/2006. 500ml bottle from Island Bay New World (the home of Bennett’s beer and hosts a good range). Hazy orange-gold, very lightly carbonated, with a creamy white head that lingers and slowly disappears as it laces up the glass. Initially I get orangey perfume and pungent honey on the nose, becoming more settled as orangey malts with a mild, underlying, floral and wood hop note. Fruity, quite sweet and juicy, orange malt up-front with a strong pithy bitterness in the middle and an intense, building, bitterness lingering on the palate - almost medicinally herbal, with a slight burn being the only downside. No doubt about this being a bitter. Medium-heavy weight, perfect low carbonation. Another pretty good offereing from St Peter’s. Simple stuff
