Very pale with delicious (and outrageously expensive!) US Amarillo hops, which are earthily aromatic and the beer, highly drinkable.

From cask at Charlie´s Bar, Copenhagen, 30.03.17. Clear golden. White head and lacing. Moderate aroma of American hops, tropical fruits, succade and flowers. Fruity taste of tropical fruits, succade, dried apricot and pale malt. Smooth mouthfeel. Good drinkability.

Clear golden color with a white layer on top. Moderate intensity in the aroma. Medium body. Soft carbonation level. Decent balance between sweetness and bitterness. Mild citric, mild fruity, herbal and malty flavor. Ok session ale!

Handpull cask at the Three Horseshoes, Stapleford. Very light gold. Straw really. A bit of white head floats on top. Aroma is surprisingly light with suggestions of soft citrus. Tastes much better though... crisp and bitter with tangerine and tropical fruit lingering for the long finish. More citrus and some mango in the aftertaste. Not a world beater but good sessionable cask ale. You know what you’re getting.

Cask at Fat Cat Norwich. It pours clear golden with a small white head. The aroma is fresh, juicy, peach, orange, tangerine, orange blossom, grass and hay. The taste is crisp, bitter orange peel, rindy, orange blossom, straw, grass and light spice with a firmly dry finish. Light - medium body and fine carbonation. Juicy and refreshing. A tasty hoppy golden beverage.

Cask, at the Wharf. A clear, golden beer with a small, white head. Citrusy, peachy aroma with a faint malty touch. It’s medium bodied and smooth, quite dry, with flavors of citrus peel and peaches. A fine bitterness too, dealing easily with the light malty sweetness. Lasting fruity finish with peaches and grapefruit. A tasteful and easy drinkable beer I could have a few of. 141026
