50cl bottle from Waitrose, Cambridge. Straw with a dense white head; aroma of honey and light floral hops; dusty, earthy, malt flavours with an underlying caramel body; lightly bitter finish. Pleasant enough, but rather boring.

Bottle, shared by fonefan. It pours a slightly hazy golden-orange body with a small off-white head. Fruity and malty nose, quite citrusy, with a cellarish note. Fruity, citrusy flavor with a roasted touch and a hint of cellar. Medium body. Citrusy, bitter finish with some chalky notes. Pleasant bitterness that lasts. A quite decent, quaffable and quenching golden ale. (080822)

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 24 May 2007) Golden amber colour with foamy white head. Fruity, floral nose with notes of citrus, orange peel and earthy hops. Fruity taste with orange, grapefruit and earthy hops in a long bitter finish. Medium to light body, mainly dry. Refreshing with a nice hoppy character.

Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm Deep golden. Resiny green hop aroma. Dry with rounded mouthfeel. Really resiny with strong hop presence. Fairly light bodied, yet fruity with lingering resiny finish. Rather unbalanced.

Cask at the Boltmakers, Keighley, 20-05-06. This was a pale golden beer that was most refreshing lovely zingy grapefruit flavours and a great bite to it. Quite impressed with this.
