Apr 17, 2008 Bottle 500ml from Waitrose, Christchurch. Has a kind of a hoppy / candy floss aroma to it. Pours a hazy pale yellow with a medium white head. A sweetish fruity flavour, followed with a cola like aftertaste. A dry finish with a bitter bite in the tail.

Apr 7, 2008 Cask @ Crosse Keys ’Sporks, Gracechurch St. Gold with no head. Fruity hops, slight nettles, pear, juicyfruit gum and malt in the aroma. Can nearly detect a faint whiff of diacetol but but the fruit character saves it. Flavour is tropical fruits, malt and a nice juicy hop bite. I found it quite well balanced and pleasant.

Apr 3, 2008 Cask, Knickersby ’Spoons. Another zesty mandarin-accented golden ale with digestive biscuit afters. Maybe a sprinkle of oats. Ringed with lace. Amazed to find it’s 5.2%. Definitely worthy of reinvestigation. Delicious but boring.

Apr 1, 2008 Cask at the Newcastle Arms, Newcastle. A great beer with complex aromas of hops, malt and citrus. The flavours stand out as well with an overall sweetness, a touch of grass and nice, dry finish. I don’t have this beer that often due to its high alcohol content; but when I do, I always find it well-balanced and definitely moreish.

Mar 6, 2008 500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. BB date Oct. 08. ABV is 5.2%. When opening, the beer started gushing out of the bottle. Deep golden to amber colour, slightly hazy, big white head. Nice hoppy aroma, citrus and floral notes, a hint of toffee. The flavour is distinctly hoppy and grapefruity throughout, but never too bitter. The hoppy fruitiness also has a sufficient malty base, and my bottle had a hint of brettanomyces. Long aftertaste of hoppy bitterness. Good stuff!
