Cask conditioned. Cloudy, light amber appearance. Fruity, slightly smoky aroma. Sweet fruity taste with a touch of citrus. Just enough of an edge in the finish to keep it interesting.

(Bottle conditioned) Hazy, golden color with a great, white, tight and cloudy, long-lasting (impressive!) head. Bittersweet, fruity aroma. Very bitter, sweetish flavor. Light to medium-bodied, bitter and slicky, carbonated palate. A refreshing, hoppy bitter with balls!

Poured a hazy gold from the bottle. Oranges and flowers come out in the aroma. Flavor has orange peel, a surprising hops bite for a bitter and a little peach. This is very interesting and also has more to it than most bitters. I really like this light and refreshing change of pace. Too much hops to be my favorite bitter.

Medium excellent creamy white head. Hazy toffee&orange brown. Light aroma: a hint of smoke and sweetness plus kind of weird dankness. Typical ale/bitter flavor.Smooth mouthfeel, hops are very present. Long bitter finish. Very good palate. (5/3/7/5/15 3.5)
Re-rate, bottle-conditioned, 10.6.04 (BB 01/2005)
Hazy orange with big off-white head, lace. Grassy hop and yeast aroma. Bitter, hop, malt and citrus flavors. Round, excellent crisp palate. Long bitter and sour aftertaste. This is more like Belgian ale (malt character)! (6/3/7/5/15 3.6)
2nd re-rate, bottle conditioned, 4.8.04 (BB 01/2005)
Good rocky off-white head. Aroma is yeasty, hoppy, malty and fruity. Bitter hoppy and citrus flavors. Excellent brew, I like this more everytime. (7/4/8/4/16 3.9)

Bottle Conditioned. Wonderfully light, tangy and refreshing. A great fruity burst with a lovely smokey zing of hops. Very nice.

Bottle. This beer formed an average sized white head that was creamy with fine-small sized bubbles. The body was transparent with fast rising carbonation and a gold hue. The nose was sweet, citrus and fruity. The flavor was bitter and the mouthfeel was tingly. This beer had sparse lacing.

This bottled brew poured a large head of fine to large sized mostly lasting white colored bubbles that left behind a fair lace. The body is a transparent carbonated dark yellow lite brown color. It aroma reminds me of getting sick to my stomach, ugh eww. The mouth feel was off and kind of like drinking the vomit. Not really that bad, but the thought is now stuck in my mind. The flavor is malty and only mildly bitter. Not a beer I'd but again.
