A bright blonde ale, with delicate citrus notes, a fragrant hoppiness on the nose and a long lemongrass, grapefruit, scented hop palate from the infusion of Cascade, First Gold and Challenger hops.

Cask at Queen Inn, Winchester. Clear gold. Frothy foamy white head. Aroma has spice, hay, malta... a berry edge. Flavourwise it's quite bitter with a sour edge. Mirrors the aroma with added quinine. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Nice enough without being an inspired or original beer.

Half-pint cask ale at Pier View in Cowes. Clear warm golden body, small sized white head leaving spotty lacing on the glass. Resrained aroma of mid-sweet malts. Subdued malt-fruity flavours, hints of lemon and caramel. Discreet bitter end, clean on the swallow. Easy going. (Isle of Wight, Cowes 21.10.2019).

Cask @ OT. Pours clear pale golden with a rocky offwhite head that doesn’t leave much trace while dissipating. Smell is subtle with caramel, buttered white bread, orange zest, moist grass and lemon zest. Taste is sweet, tiny bitter and tiny floral with white bread, moist grass, orange zest, butterscotch hard candy, bergamot and biscuits, mouthfeel is soft, flat, round, slightly astringent and light bodied. Finish is bitter with biscuits, moist grass, orange peal, bergamot and dried flowers. Forgettable...
