Can at home in London - sourced from Offie & Toffee. Pours mostly clear gold with a small, foamy white head. The nose holds tangy citrus fruits, grainy pale malts, hints of berries. Light sweet flavour with lemony tang, some metallic notes, woody dryness, leathery berries, more grains. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with mild astringency, some subtly harsh grassy bitterness, more metallic impressions, tangy berries, citric twang, grains, wood, some leaves. Not great.

Cask at Maidenhead beer festival 2015, Maidenhead, Berks. A hazy golden/amber coloured pour with a thin white head on top. Hoppy, citrus aroma. Tastes similar, hoppy, citrus, quite flat and lacking in freshness.

Cask handpull at the ring bar Southwark. Hazed light amber orange colour halo of off white head. Aroma is toffee, light sharp citrus, hay and English yeast esters. Flavour is composed of straw and toffee malts with a grainy dryness on the tongue. Hop and firm citrus and berry with a touch of grass. Assertive slightly rough bitterness. Palate is drying with a grainy mouth feel. Nice condition overall.

Cask-conditioned at the Beer Emporium, Bristol 3/9/2013. Deep gold with a slight, off-white head. Marmalade citrus fruits, biscuity malts and a hoppy, dryish finish. Good.
