Cask half-pint at The Pheasant Inn, Wellington Shropshire on 22nd June 2018. Light golden pour, full white crown. Citrus and floral esters in the nose, the taste also leaning towards a citrus domination. Refreshing and easy to drink.

Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 1st February 2018. Slightly hazy amber with thin off-white foam affording scant lacing. A fine floral and zesty hop aroma. Fruity hops in-mouth with fine citrus and floral notes. Floral hoppy finish with grassy bitterness. Light bodied with a zingy mouthfeel.

Cask at the CP&K, 25/01/18. Clear golden with a decent off white cap. Nose is toasted malts, orange peel, straw, soft breads, light perfume. Taste comprises tangerine, grass, soft breads, toasted grains, melon, perfume. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close with a juicy hop rasp. Decent enough session gear but doesn't match up to the base beer.
