2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 Baz7778 (58) - SCOTLAND - SEP 8, 2012
Reasonable hop punch up front with caramel/biscuit like under tones.. Late in the palate you get an almost cardboardy like finish..

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 Jimthechap (1206) - Christchurch, NEW ZEALAND - MAY 25, 2011
It’s appearance is unremarkable. Amber colour and a white head that was gone in a second glance. Fruity aromas of oranges, pears, grapes and mandarin peel. Not a bad sort of start.
The first surge of bitterness is rewarding and is followed by those fruit flavours alluded to before. This leaves an aftertaste that doesn’t hang around, but while it’s there it has a touch of ginger and notes of oranges, flowers and walnuts.
This beer would be a good quaffer. Nice enough but not especially memorable.

Bottle. I was expecting a bit more hops from this, which left me feeling this comes a bit short.

330ml bottle. Cloudy and hazy with a low level white head. Honey amber colour that looks solid. Sweet fruity aromas of peaches and pears make for a nice wafting aroma. Light in the mouth with a soft delicate flavour that leads into a long powerful aftertaste.
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20 snuffla (155) - Chch, NEW ZEALAND - MAR 26, 2010
Wheatbix on the nose, hints of boiled sweets. Fairly anonymous. Golden body with a fine and persistent white head. Sweet malt dominates the flavour. Finishes a bit sweet and flabby. No idea what the double hopped thing means they added bittering and aroma hops? The beer was hopped then dry hopped? It doesn’t taste like there were any hops. Like an Indie Speights. Not sure what the point is
