(bottle) Orange-amber coloured hue with a mid-sized off-white foamy head. Buttery floral and herbal hoppy aroma with grape-fruits and English marmalade. Very dry and bitter hoppy taste, combined with fine fruity notes (grape-fruits) and a balanced maltiness (butterscotch) in the background, aromatic and lasting dry, bitter and herbal hoppy finish. This one is really a pleasure. Thanks to pivnizub for the bottle !

Sep 1, 2008 bottle, Waitrose Sidmouth. Clear copper-brown colour, mid-sized head. Fruity and malty, hints of caramel and raisins. The finish has got some rather intensive and spicy hoppy flavours. Well-balanced, a good one.

Aug 25, 2008 Pours a nice copper colour, small head. Taste and smell are similar, bitter and a quite sharp finish, some sugar and malt in the background. Reasonable.

Aug 23, 2008 Pours classic pale ale red/orange, with a fizzy head that lingers. Hoppy malty nose, smells quite sweet. Very nice mouthfeel, hop flavours come through strongly and bitterly, with a background of malt. A very drinkable, tasty excellent beer.

Aug 7, 2008 Aroma is an inviting malt, with a leafy wet hops, dark amber, pours a small off-white head. Flavour is a woody malt, mild fruit, the hops figure in with a resiny bite. Light bodied, perfectly balanced, extremely well made, superb mouthfeel, fresh as you please. Fabulous! Thanks so much Roger Pettit.
