A lustrous golden ale to remind you of sunny days and summer suppin’; welcome to the Carnival! Heady aromas of sweet pine and tangerine invite you in while a light caramel body gets things started. The revelry rises with earthy pine and sweet summer citrus flavours carousing the palate, and culminates in a laid-back bitterness and refreshingly dry finish. There’s a party in this glass and your taste buds are invited!

One third pint from the cask menu at Hanging Bat.. Next to clear amber, filmy layer, fragile lacing. Mild zesty sweet tropical fruity on the nose. Juicy fruity flavours added by leafy hops. Rounded, semi-dry bittersweet finish, rather short-lived. Feels a bit thin in the mouth. Anyway, a decent British bond ale (Edinburgh 08.08.2013).

Cask to Hanging Bat. Pours clear with a very small head. No carbonation to speak of. Some mango going on, bit of caramel. Not that exciting to be honest. Disappointing when compared to other Magic Rock beers.

Cask at CBC - Clerkenwell, London. Pours clear gold with a small, foamy white head. Crispy straw nose, hay. Light to medium sweet flavor with crunchy hay (big time), some grass, more straw, pale malts generally. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Pretty sturdy malts to finish with lots of dry, crunchy hay. Doesn’t distance itself from the pack like other MR beers, but it’s still a darn nice drink.
