Bittersweet smell of hops. Very light gold coloiur, no head, very clear. Hops, woody, earthy.

Bottle, bought @ Sainsbury’s, Camden.<br /> Pours a fine, clear golden with a medium, frothy, white head. Aroma has a whole lot of pine, light grass and some yeasty notes. Lowish carbonation, okay mouthfeel. Flavour is a bit weak compared to the aroma. Good hoppiness though, some light dryness. But it lacks some maltiness.

<b>Bottle 50cl. @ chris o’s Pre-GBBF Shindig 2008.</b><br />Clear light to medium yellow color with a small to average, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, moderate hoppy, flowers, citrus - grapefruity. Flavor is moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (020808)

From a Franziskaner trumpet. Fizzy lager looks with fine white foam. Watery resin snout humming faintly with elderflower, lagery sell out and mandarin splashes. Reminds me very much of Prima Pivo, minus the sunset. Seriously lacking the hop juiciness I’ve come to expect from The Brothers. As vanilla and oat-inflected as anything. Grassy tangerine wrapped in peanut paleness. Not nearly enough hop spike for me these days. A bit drab, but mustn’t grumble at a quid a bottle (Hinckley Sainsbury’s).

Gold with a white head. Sweet rather sugary hop aroma eventually developed. Rather strawy taste with a little citrus and some bitterness. Didn’t pick up any maltiness, more’s the pity.
