Cask @ Tap & Spile, Bangor. Clear bright gold with a thin head. Is a relatively smooth tasting malt-hop balanced ale that slips down the palate well. Has a sweet aroma with fruits noticeable.

On cask at the Guildford Arms. Appearance - dark and golden with a proportionate head. Nose - floral plus elusive notes of fruit salad. Taste - an amalgamation of oranges and pale malt. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - solid and drinkable.

Cask at The Guildford. Pours clear pale gold, thin white head. Light tropical fruit aroma,s but quite faint, straw and malt. Taste is light sweet, light bitter. Decent thirst quencher, but not that exciting.
