| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 21, 2009 [Cask at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, Castleton, Derbyshire] Gold with amber hints, thin white head. Floral aroma. Strong grapefruit taste (some sourness) with floral hints. Very dry finish. Nice punchy flavours (I can see how it’s won awards), but somehow overall it didn’t quite work for me. sm89walt (455), Canterbury, Kent, England
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 15, 2009 Cask - Fat Cat, Norwich. Clear golden orange colour with a lingering frothy white head. Hoppy citrus and floral aromas and some sweet malty caramel notes. A good balance of both malts and hops in the flavour, combing citric, floral hop tones with sweet, fruity malty flavours. Good lasting hoppy bitterness, smooth, oily texture and a medium body. yngwie (4974), Kristiansand, Norway
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Feb 23, 2009 Bottle, courtesy of KnutAlbert. A clear, golden beer with a minimal off-white head. Malty and fruity aroma with a nice resiny hoppyness. Some lemon and a tiny touch of alcohol. Full-bodied on the palate, with bready notes, pine-cones, resin, some malty sweetness, a little alcohol and a fine bitterness. Mostly bitter on the finish. A quite nice one, I guess the ABV helps it out of the shadow. Easy to drink, and quite flavorful. (081215) altonbrownd (1943), Amsterdam, Netherlands

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Feb 1, 2009 (Pint from fat cat, Norwich) Had a huge bubbly head which rose above the glass. Had a hoppy yeasty smell. Was quite bitter and a little floral actually. Was served quite cold so was refreshing, but this may have reduced some of the more hidden flavours. As such it seemed really nice, although no distinctive or overwhelming flavours were present. thebeertourist (2823), Oslo, Norway

Good spicy rye bread flavours, with appropriate offsetting fruity bitterness. Some earthiness. Quite nice. KnutAlbert (3191), Oslo, Norway
