Moderate haze on a golden orange pour topped with an off white cap that thins to a swirl.

Taste comprises soft malts, light breads, orange peel, citric tinged straw.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with mellow hop bitterness.
Okay easy pale.

Handpull cask at the Kings Head, Leicester. Light gold and clear with a spotty off-white head. Enticing grapefruit aroma, lemon zest, hay, a little soap. Some balance in the taste: its pretty sweet with citrus and grainy notes, flowed by a soapy bitterness take centre stage in the latter half of the sip. Medicinal aftertaste. Light oiky body, soft carbonation. Decent.

Half-pint, cask after breakfast at Thomas Lloyd. Filmy layer, upper part lacing, cloudy golden body. Moderate smell of dusty hops with citric hints. Taste of lemony hops and toasted malts. Subdued malt-fruity ending. Fair enough. (Warwick 02.02.2020).

19/10/2019. Bottle from Warwick Real Ale. Wanted to gush, needed a quick pour clear pale gold with a huge fluffy white head. Aroma of grass, citrus, hops, caramel and malt. Medium sweetness and moderate bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily texture, foamy carbonation.

Hand-pulled half-pint in the Three Fishes, Shrewsbury on 26th Jan 2015. Light golden body, clear and clean, on top a snow white topping of foam. Nice blend of aromas and flavours, mild citrus front but that bottoms out and mixes in with the light maltiness. An easy drinking beer which I would happily have again, it is not going to test your senses too greatly, but a very pleasant brew.
