| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 29, 2009 Bottle courtesy of and shared with ogivlado who found it in Wien (thanks!). Poured an orange body with a small thick white head that went away fast. Citrusy, fruity aromatic hoppy nose, some malty notes too. Earthy maltiness and citrusy aromatic hopiness = the taste. Light notes of beets. Refreshing but just ok, doesn’t impress me as much as it perhaps should. Light bitter aftertaste. It’s a good beer but far from greatness.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Jan 20, 2009 I was really looking forward to trying this beer. It has won numerous awards for it bottle conditioning.
I have to say it wasn’t quite to my taste. I found the aroma quite fresh but a bit to fruity. The same with the taste. I like the fruit flavours brought through the hop, but this was just too much for me.
On the up side it is quite a smooth creamy beer to drink and the aftertaste is quite good.
Wanted to like it, but can’t say I did. wyzzywyz22 (799), Wirral, Merseyside, England
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 18, 2009 Bottle, Sainsburys, Upton. This was a favourite about 6 years ago whilst I was living in London, but the quality seems to have dropped over the passage of time. Maybe leaving Wandsworth for Bedford has torn the body and soul out of it??
Orangey amber colour, thin white head. Aroma was hoppy, slightly perfumey and soapy, qualities which progressed into the flavour. Also present was a fair amount of fruit and malt mixed with a damp woody tang. Some nice aspects to this, but lacking real bite , and whilst pleasant enough I was left somewhat underwhelmed
