Cask at Montgomery’s Tower, Shrewsbury. Vivid gold with a thick white head. Zingy fresh lemon with moderate pine and grapefruit following, and sweet lime balancing a crisp bitterness at the end. Really tasty stuff. Excellent for the ABV.

500 ml bottle, bb 10 Feb 16, from my European Local Swap sender minutemat. Thanks Mat!
Crystal clear, light golden body, with a medium, quickly dissipating, frothy, white head.
Quite light aroma of grains, citrus, grass, some pine, some sweet malts.
Taste is also quite light, but really crisp, with citrus, peach, pine, grass, some biscuit, some honey.
Medium, oily mouthfeel, with a soft carbonation.
Finishes bitter, grassy, piney, a bit zesty.
Nice one. Very sessionable and refreshing, with a light, but enjoyable flavour with lots of hops. Should be a perfect summer beer.

500ml bottle. Clear, yellow-ish golden colour with average, frothy to creamy, fairly lasting and lacing, white head. Biscuity, pale malty aroma with hints of hay, a touch of lemon tea, lemon yoghurt. Taste is biscuity malty, lemon notes, sponge cake, lemon yoghurt, hints of lime, a very cautious grassy touch; tight alliance of biscuit sweetness and lemon tartness, super soft palate. Fluid "Zitronenrolle".

Pours almost completely clear golden color, topped with average slightly off white head. Very pleasant fruity aroma, some notes of citruses also present. The taste is pleasantly malty, some caramel notes with very decent bitterness in the end.

Cask at the Grapes, Liverpool. Yellow bordering on straw. Light wispy natural head. Aroma is light citrus, candyfloss/marshmallow, a hint of freshly mowed grass. Bitter taste with a sweet edge. Loads of hop flavour for its ABV. Thin body but a tasty hoppy bitter aftertaste. A notch or two above your average cask golden.
