| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 30, 2003 Updated: Jan 9, 2009<i>2008-11-03, cask conditioned at J.D. Wetherspoon - Shakespear’s Head, London, 6-4-8-4-16=38</i> Amber color; medium-thin creamy head, persistent. Mild aroma of caramel and hops. Good body strength, with sweet caramel flavor; the hopping is a bit fruity, in the end there is some flavor of macadamia nuts, lightly buttery. The final is pleasant, with nice hops (between a 4 and a 5). Well balanced. Very good.
<i>2003-11-29, cask conditioned, 1st pint of the barrel, 6-4-8-5-15=38</i> Hazy orange color. The aroma, malty, is still light, but the flavor is very interesting, sweet, bitter and fruity, much more harmonious than the American IPAs. Long strong final. oh6gdx (9109), Vasa, Finland

Vastly better than the bottle! Golden, thin head. Floral but also punchy, almost pungent, hoppy aroma. Taste continues that - carried on a sweet but strong malty body. Sweetness and floral nature head towards honey. Long sticky and drying hoppy finish. Dalle (1146), Skørping, Denmark
