Cask@GBBF2008. Yellowish golden colour, not much head. Aroma is nectary and wooden with some mild fruityness. Flavour is mild fruits, some wood and a bit saltwatery notes. Creeping bitterness all the way through.

Cask at the GBBF 2008. Golden colour, low head. Lovely aroma of tropical fruits, notes of flowers and honey too. Nice hoppy flavour, moderate malts and fruit, then an assertive bitterness takes over.

Half pint. Gravicask. Straw-yellow body under a thin, white head. Weak floral nose. Spicy fruits in flavour ending on a rounded malty backbone. Quit well bodied, but straightforwardly (evening session at London Drinker BF, 13.03.2008).

Cask handpull at London Drinker BF 08. Pale gold, lasting bubbly white head. For me, it has diacetyl on the aroma. OK, after that. Decent citrusy hoppy golden beer, but the diacetyl spoils it for me.

(Cask at GBBF, London, 2 Aug) Colour is golden with green tinges, small head. Nose is hoppy with citrus (grapefruit, lemon) and a dominant grassy hop aroma. Taste is fruity, hoppy and grassy with grapefruit and lemon. Balanced sweetness, light to medium body. Long bitter finish with a nice citrussy hop character. Very nice.

Cask at Merton Beer Festival Sat 18th Feb. A wonderful aroma that was citrusy, floral and hoppy. A lovely straw coloured beer with small clean head. Instant fresh taste that was crisp and dry with plenty of fruitiness and hoppiness resonating around, slight bitterness. A very good beer.
