Jun 3, 2007 500 ml bottle. Pours dark amber. Small beige head.Caramel-sented malts are prominent, vanilla and spicey hops in the nose, as well. Flavor is sharply hoppy, metallic. Not much balance with the malt. A tiny bit of malt sweetness somewhere in there. I do enjoy the hop bite. But a little bit one-dimensional. Not much flavor beyond the hop presence. Wish I could try it on cask, sure it would have a lot more character.

Oct 27, 2006 Updated: Dec 24, 2007A Mes rate: Bottle from Sainsburys.
Unusual brown amber colour with a very good head and lots of chunky lacing. Almost a 4 for looks. Sadly the rest doesn’t live up to the promise of the looks. Hoppy but mellow nose. Sweet malts that are just a little to acrid. Then hops and not much else. Boring but not awful.

Sep 16, 2006 Bottle, picked up at the Dodgy Deli’, Cowley Rd, Oxford, 15-09-06. Amber, with small white head, some malt on the aroma, good body and very tasty, really enjoyed this beer, some fruits and malt shine through but with a nice flourish of hops at the finish.

Sep 11, 2006 Bottle. The pour presented a spare, fizzy head atop a light orange, clear body. The aroma was mostly malts — grain, straw, cereal, celery with some slightly sweet notes. The flavor was only a little sweet with hints of grass and grain and mostly bitter in the finish. Moderate dryness. Medium body is somewhat oily. Uninteresting.

Sep 9, 2006 Bought in London: Pours a sunny orange with a frothy head. The nose is lightly peppered with flowery hops as well as light notes of caramel and toffee. Medium bodied with a creamy mouthfeel. The body is light throughout -caramel malts being the most defined. A fine drinker, but nothing to dive to deep into.

Feb 2, 2006 Bottle. Nice looking clear amber with a slim off-white head. Floral hops and fruit in the aroma. Taste is malty, fruity with a (very) late and long hoppy bitter finish. Medium bodied: very drinkable; good stuff.
