A pale, golden quaffing ale with excellent flavours for its strength. Pleasingly hoppy throughout without being aggressive and also possessing a fine aroma. The finish is dry with a small twist of sweetness at the end. If you feel that this is all rather pretentious then it can best be described as a ‘fantastic pint’!

Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours gold (between yellow and amber), with a small off-white head. Aroma is primarily oranges with traces of floral hops and bread rolls. It the mouth it is sweet and juicy, but with some underlying bitterness. Flavour has floral hops, tangerine, lemongrass plus hints of toast and berry fruits. Finish is quite fruity. Very quaffable – and quite a lot of flavour for it’s strength.
