Apr 5, 2004 Updated: Jun 1, 20042004 bottle. Weird style here, is it a bitter? Is it an EPA? How bout an English Pale Bitter?. Wonderful pour, brilliant deep orange-gold. The small amount of yeast they inject (post filtration) dosent really add any significant cloudiness, but hey, post filtration yeast is better than no yeast, as the saying goes. . . Ahem, back to the beer, it's got a good medium body, some floral hops, orange blossom honey flavors, light sugar cookies and some dry yeasty flavors on the finish. I suppose this is pretty basic but everything is done right and it tastes of good quality, though it's hard not to subscribe to the more ingredients makes a better beer. I think it's wonderful example of the EPA style, though the aroms is not particularly strong (light nuttiness, yeast, lightly acidic hops). Oh ya, this had some of the best/most lacing I've seen on any beer.

Jan 21, 2008 500ml bottle (Kolme Kaisaa, Helsinki)<bt>
Mid orange, alas poured with a bit of yeast so was quite hazy. Slightly sour fruity aroma, maybe wild strawberry. Alas a bit yeasty, but a good full bodied bitter taste. There’s a bit too much sour taste, maybe from the yeast? Finish is dense, some bitterness from burnt malt, almost like an espresso. Not as good as the old Eldridge Pope beer of the same name.

Sep 16, 2006 Bottle, picked up at the Dodgy Deli’, Cowley Rd, Oxford, 15-09-06. Reddy amber coloured beer which has a slight haze despite my best efforts at pouring and was very lively as though it couldn’t wait to get out of the bottle, with the off-white coloured head going everywhere but in the glass. Definate fruity aroma but mores so of rich dried fruits, malty and bitter in the taste and whilst it was enjoyable enough not really my thing.
