Bottle. Deep orange colour. Yeasty aroma. Sweet, thick, with a weird off fruit sourness, almost cidery. Just not a good beer at all.

Bottle@Home. Citrus and light grassy aroma, a bit citric as well. Light amber colour, large off-white irregular head, fair lace. Almost no sweetness, yet hints of toffee, grassy, herbal, light medicinal. Astringent and dry finish. Strange stuff...

bottle from Waitrose Tenterden, bought while desperately looking for a toilet en-route to the channel tunnel. Amber colour, mid-sized fluffy white head. Malty and sweet but not too sweet. Citrusy hoppy flavours balance it. A nice brew.

Bottle bought from Waitrose. Golden with some hoppiness. Some maltiness with other subtle flavour appearing. Nearly but not quite a good bitter.

Cask at The Railway in Putney during "Spoons Fest in a Day" crawl, 2nd Nov 08. Amber with a slightly skunky smell. Soft malt flavour but rather forgettable alas.

Bottle thanks to Jenners Snr. Dusty bronze thick with haze. Tired marzipan, oxidised/caramelised notes, dull malts. Buttered cherry aroma, hint of coffee, musty Fuggles. Swirl of froth. Caramel, marzipan, no real hop presence. Demolished by the Hampshire. So tedious.

Appearance: Orange brown. Cloudy. Little head. Aroma: Malt and hops. Slightly lemony. Taste: Malt and hops, slightly bitter aftertaste. A bit boring, but not bad. Info: 500ml bottle, 10/12-2008

Bottle from Waitrose. Pale orange colour with a slight white head. Aroma of sweet biscuit malt and oranges. Flavour of citrus fruit, cereal malts and earthy hopps with a short bitter finish. Ok, if a bit subdued.
