Bottle. Pale golden with a thick white head. Aroma is quite woody with a fairly prominent mushroomy aroma. Pale crackery malts. Flavour is quite simple as well. Lightly metallic with just a bit of light spiciness. A bit one-dimensional really.

Bottle 50cl.
Clear medium yellow color with a small to average, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, toasted, toffee notes. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. (220808)

Bottle conditioned, from Morrisons Grimsby. Gold, good fluffy but shortlived white head and low condition. Slightly sulphurous and yeasty initial nose soon dissipating to leave a gentle hoppy citrus note, quite thin and metallic in the mouth but still with some underlying citrus notes, dry bitter hoppiness in the finish.

Sweet malt aroma. Pale amber with little head. Flavour is sweet with grass, bread and a hint of lime. Very sweet for a bitter. Thin body. Finishes bread and yeast. A curious one.

Yeasty, Bitter, Tastes of apples, has a cloudy appearnce. Not much else except the the fine toasted caramel nose that bring me up the othe raters discriptive excellence

light amber with tiny off white head. Major notes of yeast, some fruit and hint of cardboard, some hops develops in mouth. Sweet flavour with short bitter finish.

Aroma is noticeable but not easy to identify - hops, breadiness? Slight fermentation in the nose. Looks quite nice however, though a very light colour, but that seems intentional. Taste is again very light - very hoppy, very simple flavour here. Decidedly average.
