Feb 12, 2007 Nice 1 pint, 9 oz bottle, poured into a tulip. Very sweet aroma, almost like a sweet tea, flowery and alluring. Firm thin head. A bit thin is my first impression. The tea thing is sticking with me on this one ... definitely an impression of fresh brewed Ear Grey here, which is really odd for this yellow-orange brew, but there it is. It mellows as you go, more like a small, seedy orange. This would be awesome on the golf course, in lieu of a margarita ... not one to side with a cigar, but this is a quality brew in a girlie package. (#2697, 2/12/2007)

Feb 1, 2007 500ml brown bottle. Slightly murky orange-amber body with little chunks of yeast all throughout the beer and about an inch of offwhite head. Floral hops dominate the aroma with some caramel malt. Hops (English), kind of grassy and somewhat piney, dominate the flavor with a fair bit of malt to support them. I may be off, but I detect a hint of smoke in this beer too. Medium to full in body. Not a bad English bitter.

Jan 23, 2007 Bottle, Oddbins in Headington. Peach colored pour with abundant off-white head, sliding down the glass in open lacing. Sweet candy hops and some fresh cut hay. A bit of apricot shows up after a bit. Delicate and subtle. Soft mouthfilling malt, lively carbonation, a delayed bready warmth, lingering herbal hop finish. Each sip going through several metamorphoses before finally fading, giving it the impression of tremendous depth for such a light ale. I think in the wrong tasting conditions the nuances of this beer could easily be overlooked. But this was the perfect pint for this evening, a surprise and a treat. Very good.

Jan 16, 2007 Aroma is seriously minimal what i do get is floural hops. Taste is bitter, floural and honey trying to balance a bad taste, very average.

Dec 23, 2006 500 ml brown bottle, courtesy of Cardinal pub, Stavanger. Bottle conditioned. Brewed with pale malt only. Golden colour, just a slight haziness, large off-white head. Nice hoppy aroma, hints of citrus, leather and maybe some oak. Distinct hoppy flavour throughout, some citrus and toffee, fruity finish. Bitter and long lasting aftertaste. A refreshing beer - not bad at all.

Oct 12, 2006 1/2 pint cask, Cloisters, Edinburgh. Clear golden colour and a tall creamy white head. Some hoppy aroma notes, perhaps a little minty and floral. Restrained malt aroma. Served quite warm. Delicious malty and bitter flavour. The drying bitter sensation lasts for a long time. Really soft texture. Very smooth beer, but also has a distinct hoppy note.
