| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 1/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | May 17, 2009 (Bottled) Golden-straw coloured, cloudy with a big head. Scents include pine and grass. Fizzy, sweet and slightly silky in the mouth. Tastes of grapefruits, grass, pine, and nutty malts. Interesting but not my cup-of-tea.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 23, 2009 Bottle from Arden Wines. Tight uneven white head over misty orange. Almost witbier looks with plenty of haze and bags of lace. Lovely agricultural gooseberry and dried apricot fruit aroma with coniferous and jammy citrus hints, maybe mango. Flavour picks up where the aroma ends, bringing plenty of tangy dried apricot yeast, hops and a sprinkle of pineneedles to the mix. Saaz and Goldings? Full in the mouth and clinging with lace. Impressive. johndoughty (2156), cheslyn hay, West Midlands, England
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 27, 2008 Bottle. Massive head upon pouring. Regular top ups were needed as the head just wouldn’t move. There was some bitterness but most of the mouth feel came from the head that wouldn’t disappear. Not a pleasant experience. leaparsons (4731), Leicester, Leicestershire, England
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 23, 2008 Bottle. Hazy amber brown with a large off-white foam. Aromas are toffee malts with citrus. Woody and earthy with cream and spices. Flavours are sweet toffee malts with lots of grapefruit. Some real lemonade with grapefruit and light woody pine on the finish. Has a long dry aftertaste. A very good bottled bitter. Quack-Duck (3218), Bodensee/Schwarzwald, Germany

Malty base, pleasantly hoppy, especially in the finish. Intensive herbal flavours and hints of blueberries. Quite spicy. A good one! cgarvieuk (4183), Edinburgh, Scotland
