Nice head, golden color. The aroma has notes of malt and hops. The flavour is briefly quite floral, before the bitterness enters the arena. Towards the end, right before the finish I seem to be in the eye of the hurricane - it’s completely bitter-calm, and notes like clover, flower, fruit and honey are found. But then the bitterness comes back in a long nice finish. A better bitter...

A surprisingly refreshing and quaffable little bitter this. Malty and sweet and ambery orange. A bit of hop taste there too - reminds me a bit of fellow Suffolk country bumpkin ale - Speckled Hennessy.

beer pours a hazy orange-amber with a well-formed orange-white head that retains well and leaves great lace. great nose combines a sharp earthiness with zested lemon. crisp bready flavor with a good hop finish. crisp, well-flavored beer.

Can. Hazy, pale amber. Small khaki head leaving a ring sticking to the glass. Pleasant toffee and malt aroma. Also some fruity acidity to the nose. Taste is malty and nutty, balanced with a nice sharp and earthy hopbitter aftertaste. Healthy body. Long, malty and slight bitter finish. A very nice one.

this beer had no head when poured from the bottle, and no aroma either, but a good strong malty taste to it.

(Bottle) Pours redish orange. Malty aroma with some bread, nuts, cookies and light caramel. Subtle hop notes. A bit fruity with hints of pears, red aples and other sweet fruits. Malty, bready and light earthy flavour with alot of english style hops, not high alpha. Dry finish. Hints of fruits and maybe herbs. Light to medium body.
