Award winning new recipe. A light golden colour with a high proportion of wheat and corn giving it a clean fresh taste on top of which there is masses of hop, fruit and citrus flavours with elderflower on the nose.

Gravity cask at the Pembury Tavern. Pours clear yellow with no head. Honey malt nose with light, citrus hops. Flavor holds moderate sweetness, with some rigid malts, wood, grass and subtle fruits in the bitterness. Light bodied with almost no carbonation. The finish has a dirty, grassy bitterness to it with little sweetness. So so.

Was bought in Scotland for me. Pours a mildly-hazy golden-amber colour with a creamy-soapy slightly off-white head that has good retention and beautiful lacing. Big hoppy nose with notes of grass, citrus (mostly orange but some lemon) and even a little honey. I even smell a some toasted bread in there. Quite a wonderful nose overall. Crisp mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Good grainy malt taste with the hop showing up, but not too bitter, and given this brew a swell dry finish. Flavours are less punchy than its aromas, but that is just fine, making this one a very well-balanced session ale.

cask at Bow Bar in Edinburgh - This brew has a mild, hoppy aroma and the usual long lasting, well-lacing head of a cask pour. The flavor is of lightly roasted malts with notes of caramel and bread and a mild, crisp bitterness that lingers pleasantly in the finish.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Clear golden colour, white head. Aroma is fairly hoppy, with citrus, and some malts. Flavour of citric hops. Sharp and highly carbonated. Malty backbone. Can be refreshing, but a bit harsh. --- Beer merged from original tick of Trade Winds (Cask) on 01 Apr 2009 at 06:42 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.5.

Bottled (from bierzwerg.de). Goldeny orange colour with mediumsized foamy white head. Aroma is caramel malts, mild spicyness as well as quite strong floral and sweet wooden notes. Flavour is bready and caramelly malts along with some mild fruityness, floral notes as well as some herbal notes. Quite rich carbonation, which tickles the tongue.
