Goldings, Fuggles and American Cascade hops. Crisp, citrus hop aroma. Balanced, bittersweet finish. Strong and very memorable.

Cask, GBBF august 2003. Light amber color, traces of a head. Slight hop and vanilla aroma. Full bodied. Some hops and grapefruit, but especially a vanilla flavor. Some powdery sweetness. Long lasting hoppy aftertaste. Lovely beer, I could drink this any time.

Bottle from Alko Arkadia in Helsinki. Medium gold with a tall, rocky head. Clear. Grassy, citrus hop nose with lemon and grapefruit, crisp pale malts, crackers. Both English and American hop aromas. Flavor is big citrus hops, quite tart, actually, minerals, crackers and light biscuits, not sweet, tart and lightly bitter, effervescent almost, bit of Fuggles spicinesss overlapped with Cascade. Good US / UK hybrid, although not much about it is new anymore. Still the UK hops and the Cascade blend well together.
