A golden beer whose aroma is dominated by hops that give characteristic citrus notes. Hops and fruit on the palate are balanced by malt and a bitter base. Dry hoppy finish with soft fruit flavors. A nationally respected ale, winner of numerous awards, JHB is a blond baby packed with flavour & perfect for those long sessions as well as a quick pint at lunchtime.

Cask @ Salopian, Shrewsbury. Decent blond, mild citrussy notes with a dry hoppy character and bitter finish. A quaffer.

Cask at the Holborn Whippet. It pours clear golden with a medium white head. The nose is fresh, fragrant, orange peel, grapefruit, tangerine, doughy background. The taste is crisp, bitter, doughy, citrus peel, grapefruit, light floral and a touch of spice with a dry finish. Light-medium body and fine carbonation. Crisp, bitter and so very well balanced. Subtle nuances galore. Well-executed and effortlessly drinkable.

On tap at the Guildford Arms. Appearance - golden with a slight haze. Decent head. Nose - citrus but predominantly meadow flowers. Maybe even a hint of custard. Taste - more flowers and there’s a lovely tangy hop resin thing going on. I think this is where the custard note came from. Palate - light to medium bodied. Something on the end has not sorted itself out. Not as fresh as I’d hoped. Overall - interesting and good but more interesting than good.

On tap @ the Stockbridge Tap. Pours golden and fairly bright with a thin head. The nose is mostly of malt and lemon. The taste has grapefruit lemon pith and creamy malt. The palate is light to medium bodied with a clean finish. Good ale isn’t it a Pale?

Cask, Kazimier Garden, Liverpool. Golden looks with a decent white head. Fragrant hop and citrus in all departments and plenty of flavour here for the strength. Dry bitter finish. Very downable and great session fodder.

Cask at Bow Bar, Edinburgh. Pours pale yellow with thick, creamy white head, good lacing. Nose is light hay, light malt, light lemon. Taste is light bitter. Palate a bit thin, but an enjoyable pint nonetheless.

Bottled, 0.50l. Pours slightly hazy deep straw with small frothy white head and lively bubbles. Aroma of fresh floral hops, citrus and some tropical fruits. Taste starts fresh grainy, then followed by rich fruity notes. Mouthfeel is crisp and dry, while aftertaste is pleasant moderate bitter. Medium to full body, slick texture and fizzy carbonation in palate. Absolute winner when I compare low alcohol volume and very rich taste...

On cask at The Bartons Arms, pours a clear yellow with a small white bubbly head. Aroma of light floral notes, subtle English hops, and some slight citrus. Flavour brings out lemony notes, some light cereal notes, and light floral hops. Pretty light and weak, but inoffensive on the palate. Decent, drinkable stuff.
