Brown 500ml bottle (bottle conditioned), best before 20th Nov 2008, drank July 2008.

Very lively, only got half the bottle into my pint tumbler because of the head that appeared as I tried to pour.

Pale amber/yellow with a white (large) head, clear and well carbonated, bubbles rising to replenish the head.

Citrus aroma, mixed with hops and malts.

It claims to have a continental style (whatever that means?) and it doesn't taste like a normal English Bitter at all. The citrus flavours within the smell are very apparant in the taste, it is almost tangy, zesty even. It tasted a little green, as in not ready, but it only had 4 months life left and it had sat in my garage for over six months.

The label also told me to serve it slightly chilled on a sunny day, so I did.

A little watery for 4.8%, but not wishy-washy. The spritzy citrus flavours linger in the mouth for a while.

Not really 'My Cup of Tea', but an interesting brew none-the-less.

3.9/5  rDev +5.4%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5
Appearance: golden, great clarity, sparkly, fluffy layer of white froth, good head retention, some lace

Aroma: peary-passion-fruity hop scent, lemon zest, golden syrup

Flavor: balanced malt profile with a light citrussy hop flavor, slight herbaliness; finishes dry with a fruity-bitter aftertaste

Mouthfeel: medium-light body, lively carbonation, crisp texture

Other comments: A nice, crisp, summery beer. Very refreshing. Akin to a Deuchar's IPA in some respects.
