Pours a clear amber with a coppery tint and a small beige head. Aroma is orange marmalade and light malt. A moderately sweet malt taste, smooth in the mouth and a light citrus fruitiness. A very light (too light) bitterness in the finish, could do with more to cut through the sweetness.

Cask at the Fieldhouse, Solihull. Poured a clear medium amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is light hop, some malt, The flavour is moderate to light bitter with a smooth creamy, light hop, light citrus palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Not too sweet, not too bitter. A smooth and refreshing session ale and as good as it had been for a generation.
