Looked very nice with a decent head. The first thing I noticed in the aroma was a curious scent of lemonade powder followed by some malt. Not too much fizz. Felt quite good in the mouth. The taste was slightly sour, and there was enough bitterness to satisfy.

Amber with a large head. Aromas are sweet, fruity and pine hops. Some sulphur, too. Flavours are sweet pine hops with bitterness to follow. Malty with sulphur in the background. Some fruit. Good stuff.

Deep golden colour, fizzy foamy head. Rich bready and yeasty smell, leafy, hoppy and yeasty aroma. Mild bitterness. A lovely session ale.

Bottled. Orangey colour, with smallish white head. Malty, citrus with some toffee. A hint of fruit. A bit watery, a slightly hoppy, bitter finish.

Bottle. Pretty thin, i suppose, but i actually thought the flavour was alright. Bready, lemony, some toffee. Hops were a bit green. But it wasn’t that bad, tasted fresh, even though it was from the bottle (pasteurised).

More copper-bronze than golden really. Big fluffy head that dissipates quickly. Bready malt and home-brew yeast in the aroma. Sweetish fruit candy too. The mouthfeel is rather watery. The flavour is dry, citric and bitter, but also a little dusty. Lasting lemon finish. There are lots of fragments of interest here, but nothing comes over very strongly and all the elements are not knitted together that well. 500ml bottle from Tesco (not bottle conditioned)/

Bottle. Fruity aromas citrusy and peach with dusty hops. Dry with plenty of bitterness. Over-carbonated. Pleasant aromas but slightly fleeting and subdued.
