Cask at Woodin’s Shades, Nicholson’s, London. Pours clear, bright gold with a small, foamy white head. Dirty straw in the nose, some dry, crunchy white bread. Light sweet flavor with mellow straw bitterness, hints of dirt and grass, light lemon rind. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Faint resinous grass, straww and citrus fruit rind to finish, some dirt, light plastic, faint lemon tanginess. Simple little beer.

On tap @ Teuchters. Pours a hazy golden with a decent head. The nose has grapefruit, lemon and a pungent thing going on. The taste has a little more of this ’sweatiness’ but the grapefruit is the most dominant note. The palate is medium bodied and textured with a fairly clean finish. Overall, a solid pale ale.

Cask (hand pump) at the Darlington Spring Thing Beer Festival 2011. ABV is 3.8%. Deep golden to amber colour, low head. Nice aroma of toffee, with a touch of citrussy hops. Light bodied. Dry flavour, with a solid dose of unusual hops (Savinsky Goldings and Green Bullet), some citrussy notes and a sharp bitter finish.
