Sep 6, 2007 Sweet cereal nose with a slight peppery undertone. Pours pure copper with a quickly disappearing head and good lacing. Taste is excellent - some honey, some grapefruit/citrus, and a long bitter finish with just a hint of acidity at that level that enhances rather than detracts.

Aug 11, 2007 Bottle, amber with a thick foamy off-white head. A strong sweet fruity aroma - like peaches. A hoppy, light bitter palate, sweet fruity flavours again. Pretty good actually, though a little sweet to drink a lot of it.

Jul 6, 2007 Pours clear amber with decent white head which dies quickly. Sweetness and grapefruit aroma. Tangy, refreshing - citrus hop flavours predominate with some soft malt beneath. Prickly mouthfeel, Some warmth on the swallow. Finish sharp and bittersweet. Not bad.

May 23, 2007 Bottle, 500ml. A clear amber colour with a small head. Aroma is biscuity malt, a touch of floral hops and grapefruit. Taste is sweet roasted malt with caramel and a touch of citrus hoppiness in the finish. Very smooth mouthfeel. Fairly high carbonation. A fairly refreshing bitter.

Apr 20, 2007 Bottle from Morrissons, Banbury 20-04-07. Pours a nice deep amber colour with good clean mid sized white head. Some hops and citric notes in the aroma, taste was similar there was quite a good citrusy hoppy bitterness balanced with some toffee sweet malts, nice beer.

Mar 2, 2007 Bottled. Clear orange-red pour. Thinly headed, becoming headless, but aggressively fizzy. Some stale vegetable nuttiness in the snout. A sniff of dogbasket. Some ganja-ish leafy hops as it reaches room temperature. Papery, cardboard vegetable maltiness verging towards drainpour territory, with a simplistic bite of hop bitterness in the finish. A lick of metal. Creamy malt afters. Exceptionally bog standard bottled bitter with all the character boiled out of it.

Jan 31, 2007 Bottled. An amber coloured beer with is typical Black Sheep. That is safe and a little dull. Very English in aroma and smell and balancedness of malt and hop. But really plain and unexciting. Maybe fruitier than its stable mates, but moving on......
