Medium white head doesn’t last. Clear yellow body. Light floral grape and gooseberry aroma with bergamot notes. Dry-sweet grape and bergamot taste with strawy orangey notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dry resiny orangey aftertaste with floral gooseberry notes. Very nice and extremely drinkable. (0.5l bottle, from House of Trembling Madness, York.)

Cask at Thomson’s. Pours very pale yellow, with good white head & lacing. Soft carbonation. Aromas are citrus and pineapple, not getting much malt. Taste is bitter with a very slight and pleasant sourness. Creamy, medium body, good bitter finish. Another nice pint. In my limited experience with this brewery, better on cask than bottle.

Bottle. Very pale orange with a white head. Aroma of oranges, mandarins, lychees, rosewater, hay. Sweet and grainy with citrus and some tropical fruit. Dry finish. Refreshing, although seems a little strong for what it’s doing. Would have liked this more on a warm day.

On cask at The Bartons Arms, pours a clear golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma and flavour of floral hops, English hops and some zesty biscuity malts. Quite smooth and on the hoppier side. Decent stuff.
