Jul 25, 2006 Bottled. A bright golden orange coloured beer with a decent whitish coloured head. The aroma has good hop notes: oranges and pine. The taste again has a good dose of orange flavours from the hops. A very well brewed tasty beer. It does appear that beers brewed with Challenger are right up my street!

Jul 21, 2006 I have to admit that the quality is good, the bitterness is correct for the style, maybe it would be a Premium, but it was for me a little dissapointing, not refreshing not my style.

Jun 28, 2006 Big carbonation in this bitter, bubbles crowd the glass, beyond them, the brew seems a pale amber, under a light, white, soon-gone head.
Yeasty nose, citric, speaking of lemon and a little orange, trickles of honey and herb...
Taste: again, big carbonation, and citric flavor. Not much from malt or hops really, and a disappointment in the body department. Bit thin, and overloaded with that lemony feel. Light bodied, with a watery, slightly hoppy finish.
Easy-going, though, tasty enough...but a bit blase’. Dull, even.
I bet this is better across the pond. Not doing nothing for me, though.

Jun 17, 2006 Appearance: Brilliant copper with moderate off white head.. receding into a thin collar
Aroma: Some caramel notes and definite grassy, spicy hop nose some yeast notes apparent
Flavor:Starts off with a caramel (crystal malt) note which recedes to a nice rouded malt with perfect amount of bitterness showing with some spicy. I pick up some fruitiness.. I cant quite place it..
Mouthfeel: Medium light bodies with the perfect amount of carbonation... finishes with a nice long semi dry finish
Overall: A very well made brew... great balance and restraint. THe crystal malt is more apparent to me... A very delightful easily drinkable bitter. The bottle I tried was a little tired so there were some card-board like notes...

Jun 15, 2006 Hepworth version, 50cl bottle, best before 2/11/06. It’s 6/15/06, so I guess I’m a bit late... Anyway, clear dark gold with a creamy white head. Nice lacing. Malty cookielike nose, some floral hop tones. Nicely balanced, with a lightly sweet malt flavor, a bit bready with a touch of yeast. Medium body. Finish is a pleasant medium bitter. Solid brew.
