Lunkie (1006), Glen Iris, Australia Jun 26, 2008 Smokey malt stale ashtray aroma. Clear amber colour with fair head and lacing. Bitter malt hop flavour. Flat palate. Not something I would ask for again.
Ethereal (894), London, Greater London, England Sep 1, 2008 500ml bottle at the White Horse, 28th August 2008. Clear amber with a solid white head and a light hoppy aroma. Very smooth with a firm body and a malty taste. The palate is lively and I enjoyed this. I’d like to try it on cask. KnN (272), Greenbelt, Maryland, USA Aug 20, 2008 Pours a really nice golden orange color with a thin white head and lots of carbonation. Aroma is a little hoppy with some citrus and bread notes.
Flavor is a little strange. Almost no hops bitterness at all. Not any kind of bitterness. Almost like sweet lemonade and orange juice with some malt hiding in the background. This beer is quite a bit sweeter than I expected. The citrus notes are nice though. Pretty decent beer. Capa (738), Yokosuka, Japan Aug 11, 2008 Hoppier than expected, along with biscuit malts, and light citrus notes. Active carbonation. Reminded me of a light American Pale Ale. Very enjoyable, but I won’t reach for it when I’m in the mood for a bitter. ilovedarkbeer (717), Dallas, Texas, USA Aug 7, 2008 Pours a orange honey like color with a small head that looks like crystalized sugar against the rim of the glass. Nose is of toast and grass. Mouthfeel is moderate and the finish is short. Taste starts with cardboard / paper and finishes with some corn. I am not sure about the condition of this bottle but the taste and of this beer is not to my liking. gary07734 (141), Tyne & Wear, England Aug 3, 2008 Nice golden pint, creamy/tan head. Taste is bitter, hoppy, nicely balanced. Good bitter finish. Very nice.
