Sep 29, 2007 500 ml bottle. Hoppy and faintly floral aroma. Pours in a golden colour with a huge frothy white head. Well laced. Nicely balanced malt and hop flavours, some woody and nutty notes. Dry bitter finish.

Sep 17, 2007 Bottle (500ml). Purchased at Waitrose. Pale, clear gold, tons of tiny little bubbles, smallish creamy-fizzy white head - this is supposed to remind me of a bitter? Sweet light malt aroma, floral hops. Taste - light sweet grain, just a hint of light roast, somewhat more pungent fresh hop character in the taste, very crisp - quite pleasant, actually. Light, crisp mouthfeel, tons of carbonation, incredibly quick finish, light fresh hay sweetness on the tongue afterward - pretty nice, but seems more of a Golden Ale to me.

does not count  Aug 17, 2007 Bottle from Waitrose. Attractive bright amber colour. Almost no aroma. Watery, thin flavour. Very disappointing.

Jul 28, 2007 Bottle from Waitrose, Thame, Oxon, 27-07-07 Poured amber in colour with white head, I drank half of this before I even realised that I had barely taken any notice of it. A fairly standard bitter but very boring and with little to make it stand out.
