Bottle (from Citymarket, Pori). Deep goldencolour with mediumsized white foamy head. Aroma is grains, yeast, some flowery hops and mild seaweedy notes. Flavour is flowery hops, yeast and some strange grainy notes kicking in as well. Quite seaweedy touch in the flavour too. Not very pleasant.

500ml bottle from Tesco. Biscuit and subtle citrus hop and a bit of dusty hop on aroma. I think I like this. The hops are zingy and sherberty. Really rather hoppy for a UK bottled beer. Might need a second bottle for a better idea. I like it, especially this fresh lime hop finish.

Bottled (BB 01/2010). Clear, slightly amber golden color, small white head. Aroma of burning tyres and cauliflower. Fizzy mouthfeel. Crisp citrusy and grassy hops, light palate. Strange hopping, perhaps Boadicea is a bit strange :) Plastic and lightly bitter & harsh aftertaste. I don’t want to save the World with this beer ...

Bottle from Tbone, thanks! Blonde. Soft citric hoparoma. medium bodied. Soft but persistant citric hopflavor. grassy. Short aftertaste. Light but well balanced ale.

Bottled, 500ml, pasteurised from Tesco, Banbury. Gold with white head. Well I’m a bit of an Adnams fan too, but I don’t really get this beer. Very lagery in construction, pale malts, quite sharp, grainy, there is a faint lemony hop, but the whole thing is a little watery and bland. Not one I would look to buy again. Anyway what is carbon efficient about pasteurising a beer, why go through extra processes to kill the beer? It looks like a bit of a gimmick to me.

Bottle. It pours a golden body with an orange tint. Some chill haze and a small, off-white head. Citrus, some faint notes of tea, malt, caramel and some bread on the aroma. Quite pleasant, but in a British session style. The flavor has some citrus up front, followed by a caramel maltyness, some bread crusts and a gentle bitterness. Medium to full body, quite dry and with a pleasant carbonation. Some hops to support the malts in the finish. A typical session beer, but maybe a bit dull to qualify as an all-nighter. (090412)

Bottle. Golden with a small white head. Aromas are sweet biscuit malts with definate lime as previously noted. Light floral noted but its the acitidy that wins through. Flavours are sweet grain with tea. Soft lime towards the finish.
