Jan 6, 2005 Hand pulled at the Bartons rms, Birmingham. Typically tasty offering from CV. Trademark flavour in the mouth - lemon/citric crsipness & fullness - bitingly fresh. Loses a few points for the finish where the freshness drops off and some plain malt kicks in. Still a delicious bitter, though doesn’t strike me as particularly Christmassy or Wintery.

Dec 19, 2004 Cask@The Evening Star, Brighton. An absolute cracker. Not a Christmas style beer as such (i.e no spicy Christmas pudding type flavours), but a nicely hoped up pale ale (i guess close in style to an APA). Beautiful lychee/grapefruit hop aroma. Has a good balance between both sweet and bitter. Really lovely aromatic, hoppy ale. Fresh, with really good length of flavour.

Dec 12, 2004 Gold in colour. Nice big hoppy citrus/grapefruit aroma. Sweet APA like taste (lychee, grapefruit, orange). Nice dry finish. Medium bodied, very refreshing.

Dec 6, 2004 [Cask conditioned] Deep orange coloured. Very hoppy and fruity aroma. Loads of exotic fruits in the nose. Extremely well balanced flavour with sweet pineapples and bitter hops. Long lasting bitter finish. Not much Christmas to it, but extremely fresh and tasty. Another superb effort from Crouch Vale.

Jan 4, 2004 [Cask at Charlie's Bar, Copenhagen] The aroma is sweet and hoppy. The color is a slightly hazy orange and it has a fine head. The flavor is sweet with notes of oranges and aroma hops. It ends on a great bitterness from great hops. All in all a great beer.
