May 13, 2005 I got a curious pineapple aroma. A good, solid head and lacing. First taste was favourable, but a fizzy metallic tang set in and the bitterness at the finish was thin and disappointing.

Apr 18, 2005 White head on top of an orange body. Reasonably hoppy and very easily drinkable, very thrist-quenching and not too strong. There is fruit there, although I can’t says which, and sweet malt. Nice summer ale.

Apr 5, 2005 Tasted from the bottle around ’Use by" and poured into a pint glass. A decent head of white foam formed atop a bright orange-gold body. The head lasted and produced excellent lacing. Sweet malt aroma, with tangy citric hop notes and a herbal spice. In the mouth an unusual wash of oranges crossed the palate, with peppery spices, husky grain feels and a bitter grassy swallow. Medium carbonation and a medium light palate. Good blend of Goldings hops to balance the sweetness. Very clean and overall refreshingly crisp summer style Ale. Lovely!!!

Feb 26, 2005 Bottled.Bright gold, with a firm white, long lasting head, impressed with the appearance. Rather lacking in aroma, very slight hint of hops. Lack of aroma is made up for on the palate /flavour which explodes with well balanced malt & hops,finish lasts...long lingering citrus hops.Dry and clean, seems to be typical of Black Sheep...well made bitter.

Berry and herbal nose.
Red amber, low creamy head.
Herbal english hops, a bit toffee.
Somewhat fizzy, carbonation needs to be beat out.
A bit watery, low-level aftertaste.

Feb 13, 2005 Light brown tending to caramel in the glass. Good nose; expressive fruity hops with a herbal tinge. Quite tight in the mouth with hops driving the taste, not malt. Finishes quite broad and just a touch metallic. Not as generous in flavour as some of its peers.

Jan 26, 2005 Clear amber colour with a decent sized (1 cm) off white head. Slightly malty and fruity aroma. Malty and fruity taste. Hoppy and slightly stale/metallic aftertaste. Pretty good for pastuerised.
