Half, hand pulled cask at Cask Pub & Kitchen, Pimlico. Clear, copper-gold body colour. Bubbles on the surface, fragile lacing. Mild aroma of floral hops and hay. Leafy hops to the taste buds added by a spicy touch. Dry bittersweet ending. Refreshing and drinkable (London, 30.07.2011).

From the cask at Cask Pub and Kitchen. Bright, deep gold with a fine, little head. Faint aroma is of pepper, grass, light malts. Malty, cereal flavor, quite sweet, with nice grassy hop finish. Medium bitterness. A bit unbalanced and edgy. Oily and lightish palate.

Bottle, Carringtons, Chorlton. Vibrant golden colour with a medium white head. Looked the part. Sweeisht aroma with some hop and honey notes. Dry hop flavour with muted citrus tones and no real depth. Clean and drinkable, but lacking any real oomph. Next !

Bottle conditioned at Cockney Pub, Århus
Hazy blond color. Very nice yet delicate hop aroma, flowery and a bit grassy. Dry mouthfeel, some malt aroma, strong hopping, with a grassy and citrusy footprint. Very bitter final, dry too and lightly astringent. Good surprise!

Bottle form Tescos. Deep golden coloured with a moderate white head. Sweet aroma of caramel, honey and a whiff of grassy hop. Sweet malt flavour with some fruit and dry hops. Slightly marred by a pasteurised boiled sweet finish.

Cask at GBBF 2006. A hazy orange beer with a rim of white head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of oranges. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of fruit. I find the flavor too weak for my liking.[5/2/6/3/11=2.7]
Bottled - clearly filtered, but I can’t tell if it’s pasteurized. A golden beer with a thin white head. The arom ais sweet amlty with some flowery notes. The flavor is sweet malty with a light touch of flowers [6/3/6/3/11=2.9]

(Cask at GBBF, London, 3 Aug) Colour is golden yellow with a small foamy head. Nose is fruity and nutty with notes of peaches and a floral hop aroma with notes of hay and wild camomile. Taste is fruity, slightly nutty, with notes of peaches. Initially sweet, turnes drier in a slightly soapy, grassy, bitter finish. Pleasant and refreshing.
