Fin (2357), Merton, Oxfordshire, England Aug 13, 2007 Bottle, many thanks to Craig (cgarvieuk) for this one A warm golden beer nice malty, fruity, hoppy nose. This was a very pleasant beer quite fruity and full of flavour, nice soft bitterness, good beer. cgarvieuk (2541), Edinburgh, Scotland May 1, 2007 an amber coloured ale, little malt in the aroma, fruity malt that way to bitter in linger StueyD (590), King’s Lynn, Norfolk, Norfolk, England Mar 19, 2006 A golden brown coloured beer with a strong white head. A hoppy nose with a citrusy edge. A dry hoppiness in the initial taste followed by a somewhat sweet yeasty malt flavour, but not unpleasant, the finish is dry. (Bottle - Purchased from The World of Wines, Southsea, Hampshire). TheGrandMaster (1492), Auckland, New Zealand Mar 13, 2006 Poured from the bottle (courtesy of the London crew), a clear amber with no head. A juicy hop aroma, hinting of passionfruit. An oh so smooth mouthfeel with a nice long bitter finish releasing flowery and fruity flavours. Yum. Mungo (2474), Southampton, Hampshire, England Feb 20, 2006 Updated: Nov 18, 2006Nov 07 Gravity Cask @ Southwick Brewhouse. A nice traditional bitter with pleanty of and rounded almost floral hops. Quite sessionable 3.3
Feb 06BCA (BBE Jan 07). Suprisingly a yeasty TCP nose which hides most of the hop character. Plain nasty which is odd given the usual high quality of Oakleaf. Av rating given.
