Bottle, 4.7%. Citric CO2 aroma. Clear dark golden colour. Lagery flavour, though OK rounded. Not as grainy as expected, and a little sweeter.

Bottle. Pours golden with a weak head. Aroma is slightly grassy, with citrus. This is very watery. I taste caramel, sweetness, water.

A Mes rate: bottle at Chris O’s Post GBBF Tasting.
Dirty golden brown with a thin white head. The fuggles and goldings are fairly clear as are some none too pleasant earthy notes. Pretty rough and minus points for a clear bottle.

Bottled@Chris O Post GBBF tasting. Golden colour, white small head. Aroma is hops, some mild notes of rubber and wood. Flavour is malts, caramel, fruity hops and some mild earthyness. Pleasant flavour.

[1553-20080730] 500mL bottle. Grainy malt aroma has some plastic notes. Slightly hazy, medium orange brown body with a long-lasting creamy off-white head. Grainy metallic malt flavour. Medium body has a bit of kick. "Inert" but fair.

500 ml bottle from LCBO, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass.

App.: Clear deep golden, fair white head. Aroma: Fruity malts – apples as usual!, light tree fruits, slightly funky earthiness, not much else... Palate: Medium-ish body, soft carbonation. Flav.: Some of the light fruity malts, a bit of earthy, leafy hops; dry with only a hint of bitterness, nothing much on the finish.

Wells Smoldering Brass. BORING.

Bouteille 500ml, courtoisie de Blanboy. De couleur dorée-orange et claire. Nez de de houblon herbeux (gazon, notes de foin et traces de menthe), de grains de malt pâle, léger de fruits (agrumes) et avec des notes de miel. Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture aux notes aqueuses. Goût moyen amer de houblon herbeux (gazon, une amertume présente toute la gorgée) accompagné d’un léger goût fruité (agrumes) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de grains de malt pâle avec des notes de miel et des traces de biscuits puis en finale l’amertume de houblon reprend le dessus en étant herbeux et légèrement asséchant (foin) ainsi qu’avec des notes florales. Post-goût moyen-court et légèrement sec, moyennement amer de houblon herbeux avec de faibles notes fruitées (zest d’agrumes).
