Hand-pulled pint in The Philharmonic, Liverpool on 7th Feb 2014. Light amber with good lacing coming from a deep white head. The aroma was half hop, half malt, the taste similar but with a semi-bitter and dry finish. There were hints of citrus notes but not too strong. Medium bodied and easy to drink: not too exciting, but nothing wrong with it.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag ONails, Bristol 28/8/08. Deep golden coloured with a slight white head. Grapefruit hop flavour and aroma with a hint of pine resin. Balanced by some fruity malt with a decent dry finish. Good stuff.

Cask gravity at Bricklayers Arms 2nd Annual Yorkshire BF 08. Pale gold with slight haze and thin white head. Grapefruit hoppy aroma. Good in mouth, sherberty grapefruit on finish. Slightly harsh, but well balanced. Best beer so far. Good hop on finish. Citrus grapefruit. Slips down easily.

Cask at The Volunteers Arms, GBBF 2007. A golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet and lovely grassy with a slight citrusy edge. The flavor is sweet malty with citrusy almost acidic hop notes as well as some grass, leading to a bitter finish.

(Cask at Wenlock Arms, London, 11 Aug 2007) Pale amber colour with brief white head. Fruity nose with underlying malt, sweetish notes of citrussy, earthy hops. Malty, fruity taste with orange, apricots and citrussy hops in the finish. Medium body. Decent, balanced bitter.
