 Carlus12 (361), London, Greater London, England
Dec 18, 2007 Cask @ Hoopers Bar, Camberwell. Lovely golden colour with thin head and some lacing. Aroma is sweet with citrus and honey coming through. Taste is grassy with hops and malts towards the end. Finish is dry with good aftertaste.

Dec 18, 2007 Cask @ Hoopers Bar, London, SE5. Lemon and light sulphur nose with notes of cream.Lacing, cloudy yellow amber. Dry citrus taste with mild sweetness. Nicely balanced with some vanilla. Small gripe is the thinness of the beer but nonetheless this is so dry and poised that it reminds me of a good white wine. It is complex in the aftertaste.

Dec 13, 2007 Cask at the Old Mitre, Holborn, London.
Nice, smotth, hoppy bitter. A fine session beer, there is nothing particularly Christmassy about this.

Dec 27, 2005 Handpump at the Wellington Arms, Bedford. Beautiful golden colour with a small off-white head. Faint floral hoppy aroma, redolent of distant summer meadows. A pleasant light sweet-sour taste followed by a slight bitter finish. The Christmas logo and release date is presumably an arcane brewer’s joke.

Golden and hoppy with some citrus aroma and a slightly dry malty finish.
