The floral aroma, with hints of fruit and caramel, leads to a delicate palate, with a subtle balance of refreshment and body, plus loads of hop character throughout.

Cask at the Metropolitan Bar, JDW. Pours clear gold with a creamy head. Faint malts in the nose with wimpy flowers and plastic. Sweet flavor to start, tangerine juice, light bread, some earthy bitters and more hints of plastic, though they fade as I drink. Light bodied with fine, smooth carbonation. Mostly sweet finish with little bitterness, touches of rusty metal, some juicy citrus and hay. Perhaps this is poor conditioning. Seems like the beer could be better.

Cask at the Baron Cadogan (JDW), Caversham. Slightly hazy gold in colour with a ring of white head; fruity aroma; sweet and oily in texture with flavours of peaches and soft fruit; and a fruity finish. Gorgeous.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial rooms, Bristol 24/10/10. Amber with a decent, off-white head. Biscuity malt aroma with some fruit and floral hop. Flavour of sweetish malts, with a bit of earthiness and a dry, hoppy finish. Good.

26th October 2010.
Spoons Fest! Clear gold amber beer. Very short lived white head. Softish semi dry palate. Dry malt with a touch of spice and a rumour of banana underneath. A little tame hop provides some balance before a dry finish. Slighty more hop, but still not much, in the aftertaste. Okay.
