Hogan Sampling		07 Nov 2024	Good head and lacing but lacked much flavouring to my taste-buds. One sufficed as a touch too watery.

Hogan Sampling		05 Nov 2024	Superb head and lacing. A real bite in the first tasting with a very dry, hoppy mouthfeel. No fruits at all appeared to be harmed in the making of this as not a hint of fruitiness. Just a spicy flavour lingered.

Ian		18 Mar 2007	Pale gold colour with thin white head. Sherberty floral hop aroma. Nice enough in mouth before sherberty distinctive hop kicks in. Very effervescent tingle on tongue lasts forever. Sweetish sherbert, but really good golden beer.
