Bottle. Frothy white good mostly deminishing head. DArk yellow colour. Light malty and moderate hoppy aroma. Moderate bitter flavor. Citrus and grassy notes. Average moderate bitter finish. Oily palate.

Amber in colour has a thin head with some lacing on the glass. Smells of woody hops. Tastes of bitter malt a bit skunky but fairly smooth.

From the Bottle at Chris O’s, GBBF Week 09/08/2008 Explorer Fruit and a little malt aroma. Golden coloured with some alcohol present. Crisp on the palate. Slightly bitter malt finish.

(Bottle from the Co-op, Long Stratton, Norfolk - it’s 5% though not 5.5%, they knocked it down a while back) Pours an amber Golden with a large White head and lots of fast bubbles - a good looker. Fresh hop smell with citrus, lemon, some grass - a fairly strong pleasant aroma. Creamy head and bitter hop taste with lots of grassiness and a little citrus. Slight sweet but finishes moderately bitter. Fair carbonation. A good fresh lighter tasting ale, great for summer.
