cgarvieuk (2551), Edinburgh, Scotland May 2, 2007 an Orange coloured ale, with a citrusy hop aroma and a drying orangy bitter flavour yngwie (3602), Kristiansand, Norway Aug 15, 2006 Bottled. Clear, golden with a dense, white head. Malty aroma with some fruityness and alcohol. Alcohol-saturated flavor with malt, fruity hops and thats it. Seems like the ABV is the goal with this beer, but it shouldn’t be necassary to let it be this pronounced. Warming and medium to thin mouthfeel, and the alcohol comes through in the finish as well. Drinkable but not too successful. (060815) Fin (2371), Merton, Oxfordshire, England Apr 16, 2006 500ml Bottle from Sainsbury’s 14-04-06. Nice clear golden appearance and for a pasterurised beer not too bad , pretty good bitterness and the hops are quite present throughout, quite easy drinking despite the abv and a reasonably decent beer all told. omhper (10731), Stockholm, Sweden Apr 10, 2006 Bottled. Deep golden, small head. Fruity and syrupy, sweet with rounded mouthfeel. medium bodied with notes of metal and honey as well as some grassy hops. Fails to catch my interest. scotty (754), Scotland Jan 3, 2006 Great colour, gold with a nice white head, leaves good lacework. Lovely fresh fruity nose, with soft malty undertones. Palate is nice and bitter, with hops to the fore, malt is there lurking in the background, and while it’s a tasty brew, it could be a tad better balanced. Still a very nice surprise...surprised at the low overall % score.
