Bottled, pasteurised, 500ml. Orange gold with white head. Adnams are one of my favourite breweries and this was given to me at a meet the Brewer night, so I wanted to be generous, but it has nowhere near the character of the cask beer, it is sharp and a little tinny and for its ABV, somewhat thin. There is a reasonable hoppiness on the finish, but I did expect so much more.

Aug 13, 2008 Sample at TFOB ’08 from the bottle. Medium orange, small white head. Decent aroma - sweet, citrus. Taste is sweet as well, but light enough to be refreshing. More hops than I was expecting. Good stuff.

Aug 12, 2008 Bottle (500ml) shared with HogTownHarry at Volo. Pours a clear golden-orange with an average size diminishing frothy white head. Aroma’s sweet,a touch sugary, along with light floral hops, some fruit and a hint of vegetal notes. Flavour, also sweet, of caramel malt, grain, a bit of honey and a light bitter finish. Average bodied. Nothing great but it’s alright.

Aug 12, 2008 Bottle (500ml). Shared with blankboy at Volo. Clear amber pour with a large fluffy sticky white head. Floral clover aroma, slightly dusty and spicy - the taste seems quite honey-like, very sweet, with floral bitterness in the finish not quite catching up to the caramel. Average body, slightly rosehip astringency, with a quick sweet finish. Refreshing, if too sweet, and fairly unmemorable.
