All round not a bad beer but just a poor imitation. larsga (2959), Oslo, Norway
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Oct 23, 2009 Small white creamy head takes a long time to settle. Yellowish coppery hazy body. Faint floral wooden aroma. Dry-sweetish floral fruity resiny taste with wooden notes. Mild, smooth mouthfeel. Mid-to-thin body. Clean and fresh palate. Dryish floral watery wooden aftertaste with dusty resiny notes. Quite nice, but a bit thin. (0.25l cask, The Barony Bar, Edinburgh.) OleR (2059), Oslo, Norway
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 19, 2009 From cask@Bow Bar, Edinburgh. A hazy, pale amber body with a thin layer of beige foam on top. Yeasty and cellary on the nose, with a discreet, acidulous-fruity hop aroma, along with a scent of sourish malts.
Fairly dry, rustic and edgy malt body.
Moderate, earthy and slight peppery hop bitterness. Softly carbonated. Dry, bitter ending. sm89walt (450), Canterbury, Kent, England

Mostly clear orange - a slight haze - with a small, bubbly white head. Fruity, floral aroma, much the same in terms of flavour - slightly acidic, light and hoppy with some dryness on the finish. Low carbonation, light to medium body, medium length finish. An acceptable session bitter. ChristianScheffel (4517), Odense, Denmark

Clear amber color, small white head, some lace. Cat pee grassy-hayish aroma. Same with flavor: cat pee, hay, notes of lime. A bit boring. Herkybird (20), YORK, North Yorkshire, England
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 1, 2009 Light golden-brown session ale, ubiquitous in Northern England and deservedly so. Nice hop aroma, good malt flavour and long bitter aftertaste. Very flavoursome, everthing a session bitter should be. Astonishing consistent - never had a bad pint!
