Bottle. Hazy gold with a white head. Aromas are malty and clean with some cream. Also has light citrus. Flavours are toffee malts and cream with floral notes. Dry tea with bitter grapefruit. Earthy hops and dry on the finish. Smooth on the palate.

Bottle at Chris_o birthday bash 08. Gold, bit hazy, thin beige head. Little bit dullish, bit plasticky. Hop is ok.

A Mes rate: Bottle at the Oi Oi Saveloy tasting at Chris O’s.
Hazy blonde, some floaters and a thin white head. Dusty hops that are a little on the tart side. A little overly malty and it puts it out of balance. I get the feeling either this bottle was slightly out of order or the bottle hadn’t traveled too well and the sediment had got mixed in with the rest of the beer.

At May Ratebeer London Gathering at Chris O’s. Gold, slightly hazy, with a white head. Fizzy and slightly metallic. Some sourness, very slight bitterness. Wasn’t convinced by this one.

Bottle, Milletts Farm Shop, Oxon 28-05-08 Golden pour with white head. Nice earthy hops on the nose, very fresh smelling beer! Light fruit in mouth but with a great hoppy bitterness, some streaks of honey finish this off marvellously. Careless pouring at the end turned this into a hazy gold light amber colour but nonetheless it still tasted excellent.
