Cask at a back street pub in St. Ives. Floral aroma. Pours gold with a creamy white head. Nice fruit and floral aspects. Finishes mildly, but nicely, bitter. Excellent.

Trade with Papsø. 50 cl. bottle. BB march 2010. Pours hazy yellow with a small off white head. Nose is citric and grainy. Some dusty floral and citrussy hops. A bit of cellar and oxidation - besides of that, drinkable- yet a bit bland and ordinary.

Bottle from Waitrose. Deep gols in colour with a slight white head. Citrussy hop character with some sweetish mats and a decent, dry finish. Good.

On tap at The Windmill, pours pale yellow. Aroma and flavour of light floral hops balanced by English-style malts, with a slightly bitter finish. Decent.

Bottle. It pours a clear, golden body under a small, white head. Toffee, pale malts, fruits and a citrusy and piney touch on the nose. Biscuity and slightly buttery. The flavor follows the same path, not as buttery, and with a pleasant bitterness. Medium body, pleasant carbonation. Lasting finish with toffee, bitterness, biscuits and pine cones. Far from impressive, but drinkable indeed. 110304

Bottle, 4.3%. Weak fruity aroma, perhaps a bit of mango. Clear golden colour. Small white head. The flavour has a bit of fruit as well. Not so flavourful, but not bad for the ABV.

Bottle from Waitrose. Clear orange gold colour with thin white head. Slightly empty boiled sweet pasteurised aroma. Its a bit bland in the mouth due to the pasteurisation. Some hop on end but on cask this beer can sing. This unfortunately merely warbles.
