Bottle at home from B&M Watford. Clear golden colour with a loose off white head. Slight haze. Aroma is composed of mellow citrus fruits, peach, light caramel malt sweetness. English yeast esters and berry on the nose as well. Flavour is initially straw and slightly caramel malt sweet and then sharp citrus grapefruit and lemon rind. Finish has an assertive rough straw and grapefruit bitterness. Medium palate, mid sweet and crisp in the finish, medium carbonation. Really bit hop hit in this beer. Very refreshing and perfect for this fine summer’s eve.

On cask @ the Stockbridge Tap. Appearance - golden with a slight haze and nicely proportioned head. Nose - fresh sweat and citrus. Some hay in the background. Taste - more sweatiness and grapefruit and pith on the finish. Palate - light to medium bodied with a tangy texture that turns into a long dry finish. Overall - if you’re happy with the sweat thing, which I don’t mind personally, this is very refreshing.

Look: clear amber, off-white frothy head.
Aroma: light grapefruit, tropical fruit - mango, light caramel, some vanilla even.
Taste: start with a light sweetness, then a good blend of hops and caramel sweetness, and a good bitter finish, the bitterness is quite harsh and aggressive.

500ml bottle from B&M Bargains - Clear amber body with lively carbonation. Fairly muted nose but there is an aroma of hops, citrus and a slightly tropical note, and that gooseberry you are promised comes in. On the palate it is medium bodied, has a hoppy pine bitterness, and a tropical fruit flavour, with peaches and vanilla on the finish.

Bottle, 0.50l. Clear deep golden color with large rocky off-white head, great lacing and average sparkling appearance. Aroma of fruity hops, peach, berries and mild malt. Taste starts with light sweet toasted malt and biscuit notes, fresh fruity following, tart mouthfeel and heavy bitter finish with pleasant long aftertaste. Full body, slick texture and soft carbonation in palate. Wow, that was really pungent birdie...
