LordCrabapple (70), Merseyside, England May 3, 2008 Golly gumdrops! My first sip of this beer, I have to say, was a disappointment. But by the end I wanted more. A ’cracking’ brew to ’crack’ open, in the bizarre language of beer ’bloggers’. I doubt Lady Crabapple would like this one, but I thought it was a marvellous beer, sharp and light. MrAleman (113), guildford, Surrey, England Sep 9, 2008 Delicious youngs ale, full of hoppy malts, beautifully created for a delightful all round taste, recommended by the aleman ;) hughie (2414), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England May 6, 2008 Dark gold. A little yeast in the aroma with the old fashioned malt. A pleasant retro touch. Some citrus, some malt, followed by some medium hops. Probably because it was a lovely, golden, warm evening here in the Shire, I particularly relished this beer. azlondon (528), Greater London, England Sep 4, 2008 Appearance: Golden, tiny amount of off-white head. Hazy.
Aroma: Hops and citrus. Honey.
Taste: Lots of hops, but not overpowering. Citrus, hint of honey. Nice aftertaste.
