Buxton - A true, ancient Spa town, stands where the Limestone and Gritstone bedrocks of the White Peak and Dark Peak meet. Pure, delicious mineral water flows constantly out of the ground. For centuries this water source ensured Buxton's prosperity, and is the inspiration for this beer, bringing English malts, Citra hops and the unsung-hero of beer - water together.

On cask at Holy Inadequate, Etruria - Pale clear yellow body, lacing white head. Nose strong citrus, grapefruit and kumquat. Taste is a little harsh, bit thin on the mouth, rather disappointing for a Buxton.

330ml bottle from Beermoth. Bright and fresh aroma, pouring a slightly hazy blond. Presents a zingy grapefruit pith with a good use of citra. Refreshing but perhaps not as lively in the taste as Iād like, perhaps even being a tad watery. Still an enjoyable beer though.

A light orange colour, a head is quite weak and white. The nose is tropical, mangos, some papaiyas and gooseberries, nice fructose. Taste is slightly tropical but not so fresh as aroma, pine needles, medium bitterness. Medium bodied, mild carbonation, easy to drink. Not totally convincing beer, taste should be more fresh. Well, easy and tastefull, anyway.

33cl bottle from Drink Shop, Tallinn. Pours hazy pale golden with a white head. Mild fruity and hoppy aroma with some yeasty notes and pale malt. Moderate sweet with fruity and citrussy flavours and a rather mild, but pleasant bitterness. Pleasant and sessionable.

330ml bottle, bottled 11.2013. Pours hazy golden with small white head; the head disappears rather quickly. Aroma: citrus, mango, grass. Taste is fresh grapefruit, pine, mango, mandarin, some sweetness in the background. Long grapefruit bitter finish. Overall: rather similar to Buxton Moor Top, but slightly better.

Bottle from Chatsworth Farm Shop, Pilsley, Derbyshire. Murky, pale orange. Film of white head. Big, juicy fruit aroma. A hint of grapefruit. A peppery undertone, too. Mouth filling, grapefruit bitterness, with the peppery thing lending a gentle spiciness. Drinks well above its ABV. Good.

Bottle conditioned ale from the Stockbridge Tap. Light golden in appearance with a creamy head. Decent aroma of citrus on a yeasty element. The taste is light but with just enough going. A decently balanced palate with a refreshing finish. Overall, a solid beer!

Cask (Holborn Whippet, Holborn) - Golden in colour. Grapefruit, gooseberries, lemon and tea in the aroma. Grapefruit, lemon and tea feature in the hoppy and fairly bitter taste.
