Pours an almost clear golden colour with a small frothy white head. The aroma is citrusy, sweet malt with an apricot note. A moderately sweet taste, biscuity malts, grapefruit and lemon flavours with a citrusy bitter finish.

To my mind one of, if not the best session beers you can find in the UK. Pours a clear golden colour, with a frothy almost creamy white head, and a glorious mellow citrus and light malt aroma. The citrus bite lures you into a softly bitter light malt taste, with a fruity tang, and a dry finish.

Hazed pale golden in the glass with thin layer on top. Decent intensity in the aroma. Soft carbonation level. Decent balance between sweetness and bitterness. Ok malty, citric and fruity flavor [Handpull at Salopian Bar in Shrewsbury, England] Brewery #2085

Cask at the Royal Standard, Wooburn Common. A straw coloured pour with a tight white head; fresh grapefruit aroma; sweet grapefruit taste to start, then sharper, leaving a clean fresh bitter finish. Rather good.

24/10/2018. Cask at the 41st Norwich Beer Festival. Pours clear pale gold with a small just off-white head. Aroma of citrus lemon, grapefruit, grass, hops, caramel and a very light peppery spice. Medium sweetness and bitterness. Moderate body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Nice light bitterness to finish.

From cask at Salopian Bar, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, with OGJ 02.01.18. Clear pale golden. Diminishing white head. Moderate aroma, with pale malt, lemon, lime and acidity. Similar taste. Good drinkability.
