Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours golden brown with a medium sized scummy off-white head and good lacing. The aroma is mainly floral hops with hints of citrus and mango. In the mouth it has no great flavour at first with a little sweetness giving way to slight bitterness after a time. More flavour comes through later, starting with malts, floral hops and autumn fruits. Later still come traces of spice, alcohol and citrus. Finish is sweet and slightly dry. This is somewhat on the bland side.

Cask at the Cornfield Garage, Eastbourne. Poured a clear medium amber colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is yeast, light citrus hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a somewhat light, smooth, fresh, yeasty, light citrus, earthy, woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
