A distinctive and light copper coloured ale with a clean crisp & fruity hop profile and a tart biscuit finish.

Cask at the Bree Louise - Euston, London. On the pump. Pours clear, rich gold with a foamy white head. A really solid bitter. Nice tangerine and lemon, some mild dry doughy bread sweetness, hints of dirty hay bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Balanced finish with more citrusy hops and good supporting malty sugars. Solid.

Cask @ Angleterre. Deep golden, thin white head. Floral aroma, some honey and citrusy notes. Flavor has leather, floral notes, dried fruits, could be apricots, as well as some nutty notes. Dry finish. Decent.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 13 Dec 2013) Amber colour with foamy, off-white head. Fruity nose with notes of citrus, grapefruit, a touch of resin and fresh hops. Fruity, slightly malty taste with citrus, grapefruit, biscuity malt and a generous resinous bitterness in the finish. Medium body, quite dry. Tasty and highly drinkable, with a fresh hop character. Nice one.

(Cask at Gallowโs Bird, 20131213) The beer poured deep amber and clear. Its head was small, dense and white. Aroma had toffee, sweet hops and malts. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were malts, toffee, sweetness, grass and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty, grassy and bitter. A tasty English beer with unusually bitter aftertaste.

Cask from a mobile beer van bar type thing, Bridgnorth Christmas Fayre 2013. Perhaps fittingly it was firkin freezing in the street when I had this. A pleasant ale with a curious extra something that, in hindsight, couldโve been grapefruit but seemed a little spicier at the time. Good stuff though.

Hand-pulled Half-pint in a local Wetherspoons on 6th Dec 13. Light golden colour, almost lager like in looks, even down to the snow white head: this covering however stayed and produced some heavy lacing (very un-lager like). Good hoppy nose and taste: floral hop aroma and a Pink Grapefruit taste with a dry finish. Different type of Christmas beer and I enjoyed it.
