(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 24 May 2007) Golden amber colour with foamy white head. Fruity, floral nose with notes of citrus, orange peel and earthy hops. Fruity taste with orange, grapefruit and earthy hops in a long bitter finish. Medium to light body, mainly dry. Refreshing with a nice hoppy character.

Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm Deep golden. Resiny green hop aroma. Dry with rounded mouthfeel. Really resiny with strong hop presence. Fairly light bodied, yet fruity with lingering resiny finish. Rather unbalanced.

Cask at the Boltmakers, Keighley, 20-05-06. This was a pale golden beer that was most refreshing lovely zingy grapefruit flavours and a great bite to it. Quite impressed with this.

Cask handpull at Thomas Ingoldsby, JDW, Canterbury. Gold colour with lasting white head. Good hop on this, nice citric lemon/grapefruit, refreshing summer ale with good biscuit malt base. Very good, very dry hop on end. 500ml bottle filtered and pasteurised. Deep gold with thick lasting off white head. Some hop, some empty malt aroma. Really lacks any body at all. Some hop. Kind on refreshing on a hot summer’s day maybe, sat in a pub garden on the fens, but otherwise just a bit tasteless. Well made but dull 525210
