Update:16th Aug 2012: hand-pulled pint in my local Wetherpoons. Having had a bottle of this some years ago I was intrigued to see if the cask version was any better: it was. Mid-golden body with a head of white bubbles that tried to stay the distance. The smell was semi-sour citrusy and mildly malty. Taste wise it fell nicely into the regular citrusy hop fronted brew so often favoured in the UK at the moment: then the malts kicked in and it wasn’t so hoppy/citrusy any more. So a pleasant blend of flavours and almost interesting. May 2008: Brown 500ml bottle drank five days before its best by date. Poured into a pint sleeve glass. Pale for an English Bitter, almost lager like in appearance even down to the weak and thin white head. Heavy citrus aromas, but not a sour grapefruit or lemon smell. The taste follows the aromas, citrusy and almost tart. Dry aftertaste and some metalic feel as well, the beer went downhill as it warmed. Strange beer to me, not one I’ll look for again.

Disappointing cask, the bottle has more of a hoppy character but still sour in the palate.
