A pleasing fresh-mowed-scented ale with a bright, clear color and thin, white, barely lacy head.
I like the fact that it’s organic (at least the pint bottle I purchased was) and it has that characteristic English Bitter flavor that must come from the hard water or hops.
Very pleasant with my pizza.

Dec 29, 2009 500 ml bottle Fruity, some citrus in the nose. Rather bland fruit flavors with honey. Subtle peaches and passion fruit with citrus. Ok hops. Rather blah.

Dec 28, 2009 Looks good, smells good, taste ok. Looks golden color with white head not much lacing, smell is good of fruitiful hops. Very bitter taste. Not really what i look for in a brew.

Dec 6, 2009 The very definition of mediocre. Nothing exactly wrong with it, except perhaps for a very faint, unpleasant aroma; just not much there. Slight taste of british hops and malt in a light amber beer; that’s about it. You hardly taste it after a bit. Expensive, too; perhaps the worst value I’ve ever seen in a beer (at least here in the U.S.)

Dec 5, 2009 Amber with a thin head, arome and taste not nice, did not enjoy this and is not one I will be looking out for in the future.

Nov 30, 2009 Bottle purchased at an Albany area bottle shop. Tasted as if it had skunked. Supposed to be a bitter, but there was no refreshment to be found here. The aroma and the flavor were off - ruining the beer. Perhaps clear bottles aren’t the best choice.

Nov 20, 2009 Pale golden pour. Thin, fast fading white head. The nose has a little bit of crackery pale malt character. There is a little bit of fruit and an oddly perceptible alcoholic nose. The flavour is fairly fruity however with a lingering estery character. The body is quite thin though… meh.

Nov 13, 2009 50cl bottle poured into a pint glass. Pale gold with a small head. Light citrus aroma. Flavor is malty with a strong hop bite. Finish is pleasantly bitter with a light citrusy twang at the very end.

Nov 12, 2009 Serving date: 2009-03-08. Served in pint glass. Best before 2009-09-17.
Very hazy. Apricot colored, Rather big, off-white head, medium head retention. Some lacings. Looks quite good.
The smell is mostly of sweet malts, some semi-tart fruits (blackberries, some grapefruit), faint notes of tobacco. Noticeable fudge. Pleasant smell.
Plenty of caramel malty flavors. Some minerals. Vague sweet fruit flavors (gooseberries, clementine, lemon peel). White bread. There’s basically no bitterness in this brew. The finish is very short, and uninteresting (restrained malts and some floral hop aromas). The taste is a big disappointment compared to the smell.
Plenty of carbonation and too sharp bubbles. Moderate body. Feels pointless in the mouth.
This beer is on a steady downhill slope from a very good looks and a pleasant, to a decent taste, boring finish and very dull mouthfeel. This is ok, barely.
