johndoughty (1692), cheslyn hay, West Midlands, England Aug 18, 2007 Bottle. I am always aware of bottles that claim to have won awards as this one did as they inevitably disappoints. This one did not. Yellow with a deep bitterness and an unusual hoppy fruitiness. Lovely aftertaste and for one what it said on the bottle was true. A winner. cgarvieuk (2612), Edinburgh, Scotland Jul 4, 2007 Cask, barony bar edinburgh ... light ruby ...light hop ... rounded malt with some fruit hop ... tiny amount of graefruit ... bitter linger with building grapefruit dryness. Hugh (121), Breda, Netherlands Mar 22, 2005 Too dark to be trendy, but a suprising amount of flavour here. Unusual blend of bittering hops. A session beer and I had several. gnoff (2923), Göteborg, Sweden Dec 29, 2007 (Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Shady dark copper color, tan head. Fruity and bitter taste. Fruity and hoppy scent. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bitterness. Bitter aftertaste. Svesse (1877), Hässelby, Sweden Aug 26, 2006 (Cask at GBBF, London, 4 Aug) Colour is dark amber with a frothy off-white head. Nose is malty, nutty with dusty hops. Taste starts malty, turns fruitier and ends in a long balanced finish with lots of earthy and dusty hops. Rather dry. Great taste regarding the low abv. Good session beer.
