Ohh she's goner get you! A slice of wheat helps give this golden-coloured brew a rich, delicate sweetness. Don't be fooled, she follows up with a hammer blow of Goldings hops giving a soaring bitterness and aroma that satisfy all your desires.

Hand-pulled pint in the excellent ’Loggerheads’ in Shrewsbury on 24 May 2013. Light golden body, almost lager like in fact: good solid white head on top. Earthy, hoppy, with a dry finish. No great aroma, some citrusy hops but little of anything really. The taste was mildly citrus hops with an undertone of wheat and malts which gave the brew a semi-sweet feel before the hops came strong again to give a fairly dry and bitter finish. OK more than great: pleasant more than outstanding.

Cask at the Bridge, Kingswinford. Pours gold with a small head. Aroma is citrus hops with a touch of sulphur. Taste is straw, with light citrus hops on the slightly acrid finish.

[Cask at GBBF 2005] A hazy pale orange beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet hoppy, while the flavor contains notes of honey and metal - I wonder if it is from the axe? The end is a boring dry bitter one.
