May 17, 2009 33cl bottle from Chapel Down Winery, Tenterden. Gold with a fast fading white head; fresh, delicate spicy hop aromas; rich a nd syrupy in the mouth without being sweet, some good chewy malts, spicy hops and some warming dry alcohol. Excellent.

Sep 15, 2008 A Mes rate: bottle thanks very kindly to Vicky.
There is no denying it is a good looking beer. Rich amber with a good off white head and really well conditioned. I’m pleasantly surprised to find I actually rather like this. Good Kentish hoppage with some delicate spice and a solid malt base. Faint sweet bready notes too. A very slight hint of cardboard but the hops kick it out of the way without any fuss. Good length to the dry bitter finish. Drinkable and balanced. Thanks V!

Sep 12, 2008 Bottle thanks to Mes shared with the both of them. Aroma is balanced, smells slightly pasturiesed cardboard character, but mainly earthy grassy hop with balancing malts. Taste is similar, quite drinkable stuff.

Jun 24, 2007 Bottle. Poured a light amber colour, with small white. Plenty of hop aroma with notes of fruit. Clean and sweet in the mouth, with a dry finish. Not sure if i liked this beer.

Jun 20, 2007 Bottle at home ... Rich amber ... sweet orangy little hop nose ... little fizz ... fruity orangy medicinal tones ... quite rich ... bitter hop linger... seems unbalanced.

Mar 13, 2007 Bottle. Pours clear & deep amber with a medium off-white head. Quite ordinary toffeish malt aroma with some mild and herbal hop character. Medium bodied. Well balanced and a long bitter finish. Ok but not very interesting.

Jan 26, 2007 Thanks Maeib for trading this. Bit hazy golden ale with an irregular head and thick bubbles. Smells a bit grainy and cookie dough and a lot of peaches. Very citrussy and metallic, some grass and a bit of malt in the taste. Starts fresh and grassy and then the bitterness kicks in. Long and bitter finish. Nice and tasty, light beer.
