Jun 3, 2008 Tasted 03/06/2008. 500ml bottle from Regional Wines and Spirits. Pours an amazingly lacy, creamy headed treat. Hazy, pale gold, gentle motherly carbonation. On the nose is is pungently malty sweet, floral minerally yeast, with mild stonefruit notes. Strongly bitter and firmly hoppy. Perhaps a little harsh, with the minerally, sulphurous yeast astringency that covers the breadth of the palate. sweet, slightly under-attenuated malt sits in behind. Very soft, very silky mouthfeel (if you can look past the astringency). I reckon there’s problably an good beer lurking under a slightly problematic bottling that has travelled a little too far... Weston-super-Mare, you have to love that - one extra point for a great town name. I bet it’s a shit hole.

May 18, 2008 Bottle @ Aarhus, 2008.
Pours muddy pale amber with a fine creamy off-white head. Aroma is light caramel, good grassy hops. Fine mouthfeel, a bit light. Flavour is a little underwhelming compared to the aroma. Light nuttiness, okay hoppy pine finish. Pretty dry.

May 5, 2008 Decent, but not overbearing, kind of a textbook example of the style. Got some ripe green apple skins in the nose, some grassy hoppiness. As you can imagine a mouthfeel that is slightly bitter, bready maltiness, but the finish just drops right off into nothing.
