Clear golden beer, thin head. Basically bugger all aroma but for touch or citrus. Sweet citrus, malt and a bit of hop in the taste. Fantastically bland but alright.

Bottle at home in Hackney - sourced via Ocado. Pours clear orangeish gold with a lasting, frothy white head. The nose holds lightly toasted grains, citrus fruits, a little jam, bread. Light sweet flavour with mild leafy hops, a little dried grass, more subtly toasted grains and bread, citrus. Light bodied with average carboantion. Decently well balanced on the finish, with bread crust, husky grains, orange, some rindy and grassy bitterness. Good and drinkable beer.

Bottle also from Tesco Marlborough - what are the chances! This is a good, strong bitter/IPA hybrid and very tasty it is too. It’s nice and cloudy with a good hit of malt and hops. There is a strong taste of fruit and the alcohol is nicely forward.

Totally bizarre nose of banana.

From Gibbs Mew to Ushers to Wadworth, this beer has been passed around far too much. Handpull cask at the Eagle, Cambridge. Dark gold with a hint of red. Nice loose off-white head. Smells like a sulphur bomb, like all too many of Wadworth’s beers. Except it’s not. It’s noticeably sweet, with gentle orchard fruit, banana and chalky, earthy hop. Not perfect but very moreish. I quite like this.

At last I come across the cask version of this beer (I love the bottled version). Hand pulled half-pint on 25th Oct 2016 in The Pheasant, Wellington Shropshire, what a pity I was on a mission otherwise I would have stayed drinking all afternoon. Anyway the beer poured a warm amber colour with a creamy textured white head. Malts first and foremost followed by some fruity notes and then bittering hops, this order was in both the aroma and taste with the flavours melting into each other seamlessly. Loved each sip and savored the time spent on my own, lost in a beery world of happiness.
