Cask at Craft Clapham, 12/12/13. Clear pale golden with a good sized white head, decent lacing ensues. Nose is citric sherbet, pale and toasted malts, grassy tones. Taste comprises lightly toasted malts, citric tang, lemon rind, bitter orange. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry grassy bitterness in the finish. Decent low ABV GB affair.

Half pint, cask at JDWs Paramount. Low white head blanketing the glassware. Cloudy golden body. Wheat-like fruits to the nose. Mixed taste of mild grapefruit, lemon and orange. Dry bitter ending. Does not feel too thin on the swallow. Nice and fresh (Manchester, 25.01.2013).

Cask at ACBF 2012. A light golden beer with a yellowish head. The aroma has notes of yeast, hops, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of dusty hops, hay, and malt, leading to a dry and bitter finish. Boring hops.

Cask @ JDW Inverness
Straw colour, clear, thin white head, quite good lacing. Aroma of sweet light citrus fruits, light grapefruit, sweet pale malt. Taste of bitter citrus grapefruit, light palate sweet malts, most of the flavour in the finish. Palate - soft carb, light body, bit mouth puckering, some sour citrus, texture slightly viscous. Finish as main flavour but much more citrus bitterness, very slight biscuit. linger a bit then clears.
Ovreall - A really good beer for 3.5% with a lot of flavour at that abv.
