A- Pours an orangish copper color with a large off white head that leaves quite a bit of lacing.
S- The nose consists of sweet floral notes, and pine hopiness.
T- The taste is very abrreviated for lack of a better word. Starts with a rich wheat flavor and ends quickly with a slight pine biterness with little to no aftertaste.
M- The mouthfeel is thick with a moderate amount of carbonation.
D- This beer seems very drinkable. Not my favorite but it is easy to kick back a few in a night.

Aug 25, 2008 Knew this was good as the floral and citrus came off the nose. Murky colour with not much of a head. Citrus and spice with modest grip. Nice beer.

Aug 23, 2008 I was born and raised in London & not too far from the old Youngs brewery in (Wandsworth,London) I love London and was sad that Youngs relocated to Bedford or somewhere. Youngs are an adequate brewery,but its more nostalgia for me.
I have fond memories of walking past the brewery in the 80’s as a kid smelling the brewing process gliding through the air .
Repressed nostalgia aside I like this beer. Nice floral,aromatic -strong’ish -fruity laden beer.
It resembles Meantime IPA .I think its in the flowery uncompramising bitterness-and the fact that its actually an alive beer. A novelty compared with too many UK bottled beerz. Peace.

Aug 15, 2008 500ml bottle-conditioned. Piney and vinous nose with a hint of pepper. Small tight head. Malty and smooth on the tongue wih an alcohol prickle, building quickly to a full-bodied malty and spicey taste. The aftertaste is bitter-sweet with peppery hops.
